Re: Cameras

The rule...
<R85> Any decorations that involve broadcasting a signal to/from the ROBOT, such as remote
cameras, must be cleared with FIRST Engineering prior to the event and tested for
communications interference at the venue. Such devices, if reviewed and approved, are
excluded from Rule <R64>. Note that 900 MHz camera systems will not be approved, and
are not permitted at any time.

R64 is the rule about wireless communication with the robot. Also note that the laptop must provide it's own power under R102.
Inspectors have interpreted cameras under the decorations rules in order that camera power be correctly addressed, among other things. All of that having been said, experience has shown that drivers trying to drive with both the playing field in their vision and a monitor cannot fully address both visual inputs. Cameras for driver feedback have proved to be more of a hindurance than a help.
