: In short, yes and yes...You do have to contact FIRST with the specifications of the camera in order to assure that the signal being transmitted from the camera will not interfere with the control system, and the reciever has to be someplace other than the alliance station. This has been addressed in a couple of the team updates....
We're hoping/intending to mount a camera, if we can find a way to see around that silly light and not be blinded. Images from the robot's point of view are a wonderful momento of the season, and make great promotional video.
We've wound up with a simple self-contained camcorder - no transmit/receive aspect to it, so we're assuming that FIRST approval is not even needed. Except that it is part of the weight and dimensional envelope requirements. Hate to lose the camera to that limbo bar.
