Sure it would be allowed. (and I have spent hours thinking about this)
The problem lies with the infrastructure of FRC itself. There is a bandwidth cap for robot-driverstation communication, and to get 3d you would need 2 cameras streaming to the DS to work. The problem arises with the fact that you have to choose (Pick any two)
- Horrible Resolution
- Horrible Framerate
- Horrible Compression
I, personally, would get a pretty severe headache from that for even just a few minutes.
Were we able to send dual 480/720p 20+fps cameras, it would be definitely a viable control system IMO.
