We definitely had a dashboard image that updated MUCH faster than this (Labview on both robot and Dashboard). Unfortunately our camera was slightly skewed relative to the robot and fixing it was not a priority compared to other issues that cropped up at competition.
When I talked with the 16 drivers at Midwest, they said they used the camera feed pretty heavily. Based on the success of that robot I would say it is certainly possible to use the dashboard camera to good effect.
