- You have to be capable of mounting a camera on the bot (especially in this game) that will be unobstructed to view in all angles
- Have the money for the cost of the camera, headset (I have a Vive... and let me tell you.. it is not cheap), and laptop that would be powerful enough to run it
- I doubt the RoboRio is capable of handling this sort of work... might be wrong)...
- Safety concerns with a Driver moving rather erratically especially since they wont be able to see their own surroundings, and are also tethered to a cable that is connected to the driver station... (I personally have tipped my desktop twice while dodging bullets in my Vive)
And probably a lot more, but even if all of this happened, I would not want to use this.

The practicality just isn't there right now, and may never be, but driving a robot with a VR headset for demos or even in free time sounds like a really fun idea. If it ever could be implemented, I'm sure it wouldn't be the primary driver or coach. But here's another idea: having a VR headset that an audience member can wear and experience a match from the perspective of the robot. That would be sick and definitely put spectating at a whole other level.

Website says 25 minutes long of
continuous shooting. Not total storage. It has 8 GB of memory and – I quote from the website – a total video recording time of "(L) approx. 65 minutes, (M) approx. 175 minutes." I assume the L and M stand for Large and Medium, but that's just guesswork there. If your not satisfied with this model I'd suggest looking for other brands and options too, there's some good stuff out there – just gotta budget effectively
