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

*warning:theoreticallness ahead*

Since streaming of video isn't explicity prohibited in the rules(it's just that the port is firewalled off),it might theoretically to possible to have a thread on the cRio that would "tunnel" video data over the user data interface, and code your dashboard program to reconstruct the video, similar to how you would set up a TCP/IP tunnel on a computer. Of course, I don't know what kind of data rate you could get, or whether it would interfere with your controls
