I haven't calculated it but I would think that passing the data stream directly to the dashboard would be a feasible option that doesn't eat up the bandwidth. However, I may be wrong since the camera feed is a direct stream of jpgs(if I am not mistaken). This may result in a large consumption of bandwidth due to the quantity and quality of the jpgs but I would assume that FIRST designed this to not eat up your bandwidth.
