GoPro Legality?

[tsaksa]

At the Portland regional we asked for permission to place a Go-Pro camera on our robot and were denied. We finally compromised and were allowed to temporarily mount the camera on our robot cart and take video of the robot riding the cart to the field. We were not using WiFi, our robot was well within weight with the camera attached, and the inspectors did not have a problem with it. However, the field team had concerns and decided not to allow it. As with anything, be sure to ask, and be prepared to accept any ruling by the officials.
