Re: Can Wireless Video Cameras Be Used?

An on-board camera with it's own on-board power source and on-board internal storage media could be "interpreted" as a robot "decoration".

I just think that, at the current time, this "creativity" hasn't been well-thought out by FIRST, and untill a real rule is put in place which comprehends all the scenarios, it should not be allowed.

After all, what's the purpose of an on-board camera?
a) for fun in the highlights video?
b) For aiming strategy for the 3-point goal?
In either case, this can all be done on the practice field or during practice rounds, not full competitive matches.....

Obviously, if FIRST really "chews" on this problem, then
a) the weight of this on-board device must be included in the robot
b) the device will need to be inspected to ensure that it really is not providing feedback to the drivers during the match....

By the way, there's a separate thread on this forum about NOT changing the on-field video screen except for a field overview view (no close-ups, no on-board views, no tops-down views).....Then how come a football game switches camera angles about every 7 seconds!

Can you say "Pandora's Box"......? Just my humble opinion as a videographer.
