As Jack has pointed out this is not "perfectly legal". Wireless cameras need to be approved by First engineering and at a minimum need to be checked over by the Lead Robot Inspector prior to their use on the robot. If you used this, you risked a DQ for you and your alliance for not having the camera inspected. While your LRI would likely have given a green light on this use of your phone, it is not legal to just add things without reinspection. Remember, you can be challenged and reinspected at any time.

<R84> All decorations must be on the ROBOT at the time of final inspection.
<R88> If a ROBOT is modified after it has passed inspection, that ROBOT must be re-inspected.
<R89> FIRST Officials may randomly re-inspect ROBOTS participating in competition MATCHES to assure compliance with the rules.
<T03> A TEAM will only be allowed to participate in a MATCH and receive qualification, ranking, and Coopertition points only if it has passed inspection. If it is learned after the start of the MATCH that a TEAM did not pass inspection, the TEAM’s entire ALLIANCE will receive a RED CARD for that MATCH.
