How to power and get feed from multiple cameras?

We also took a couple hours to make a 2nd dashboard window. We will post a detailed guide later for other teams to help them because we did this, for the most part, without any knowledge of what we were doing.

I'm looking forward to seeing the guide as our team is considering this as well. It seems like the 12V converter would be a violation of <R47>:

"Custom circuits shall not directly alter the power pathways between the battery, PD Board, speed controllers, relays, motors, or other elements of the Robot control system (including the power pathways to other sensors or circuits)"

It seems, however, that <R43> would allow two camera wires to be spliced together and then inserted into the 5V connector on the PD board:

All active PD Board branch circuits shall be protected from overload with an appropriate value auto resetting Snap Action circuit breaker. Specifically,
Each speed controller branch circuit must be protected by one and only one 20-amp, 30-amp, or 40-amp circuit breaker on the PD Board (from the KOP or identical equivalent).  No other electrical load can be connected to the breaker supplying this circuit.
Each relay module branch circuit must be protected with one and only one 20-amp circuit breaker on the PD Board (from the KOP or identical equivalent). No other electrical load can be connected to the breaker supplying this circuit.
Each Digital Sidecar branch circuit must be protected with one and only one 20-amp circuit breaker on the PD Board (from the KOP or identical equivalent).  No other electrical load can be connected to the breaker supplying this circuit.
If a compressor is used, the relay module branch circuit supplying the compressor must be protected with a 20-amp circuit breaker (from the KOP or identical equivalent). No other electrical load can be connected to the breaker supplying this circuit.
A single branch supply circuit may be spliced to supply power to one, two or three of the Analog/Solenoid Breakout Boards.  This circuit must be protected with one and only one 20-amp circuit breaker on the PD Board (from the KOP or identical equivalent).  No other electrical load can be connected to the breaker supplying this circuit.
