Driver's area feedback rules

[663.keith]

occasionally, a team has mounted a video camera in their robot, this can be approved if the team does not have a TV in the driver station. a couple of years ago in Connecticut a camera in a robot was projected onto the large screen in the arena while the team was playing. It was pretty cool

So the cam cannot be used as an aid to the driver?

Also, how did they arrange the pic to be projected on the big screen? They, like, gave the receiver base to FIRST to hook up? Or don't you know?
