I agree that this is an important question, and I was surprised it wasn't explicitly addressed in the competition manual.
It was mentioned as being unlikely we would be able to receive live video feed during competition at the WPI control system seminar and the same point has been repeated since. My understanding is that "live" video is sent back as a distinct stream from the standard driver station data. The latter does include some user data so reporting RPM etc should be OK. I haven't tried sending images back this way, so I don't know what the user data limitations are.

Our experience is that the update rate & transmission delays make it unlikely that the video on the dashboard could be the sole means of driver feedback - at least for a maneuverable robot on carpet - but maybe it would be OK for this years skidfest!

However it is up to the GDC, so we should know soon after Q&A is open tomorrow.
