Though it might be fun to have the camera image at the driver station, it is unlikely to provide the driver any edge during the game.

This is what i meant.... just said smarter... and with more actual data

During autonomous.. when your not sending picture data... the camera was very responsive and we got our camera to follow a green light easily (we were only held back by our servos ability's)
