Lightbulb The Access Points on the 2009 Control System

As many of you who have seen the 2009 control system know, it contains a wireless router and a webcam. This got me thinking, wouldn't it be cool if people in the stands could connect to that access point with their laptops? You could pick a robot and then watch the match from that robot's point of view using the on board webcam.

Some teams already have webcams mounted on their robot, but it would be cool to have this stream available live.

As you can see, a robocam provides an interesting perspective to the match.

Keep in mind that my proposed idea would be illegal under the current rules. I talked to one of the guys from NI at ATL about the technical plausibility of this. He told me it wouldn't be hard to set up and it should work. He also said he'd pass on my idea to the GDC and some other folks at NI.

I think this would be a great way to make the events even more exciting.
