After competing in the NJ regional, i can say that: part of the inspection is asking you if you have setup to do this, as it is completely illegal. i think the reasoning was that FIRST was worried that it would take up too much bandwidth, and prevent driver communication with the robots.

That being said, part of our control system was a Q1 tablet pc, which is used to display sensor and motor readings, to aid us in driving. The inspector was sure to ask that we did not try to send live video, only values.
