Re: 2009 - Live camera feed to drivers during a match?

The issue is bandwidth, and guaranteeing bandwidth, IIRC. At least, this has been the answer every time I've ever asked the FRC development team here at NI, even up to 2 weeks ago. Then again, the Game Design Committee has the final say, so it'll have to come from them.

OK cool, thanks. I do recall that restriction being mentioned on the forums sometime late last year - just wanted the "official" answer - I feel this is close enough, and I think the GDC has more important questions to answer anyway.
