Onboard Camera?

Last year, we had a camera mounted on our robot. The camera was wireless and would send live video to a recieving station. The station can then record the video and it was all nice and cool.

This year, I wish to do that again. Problem is that we can't use the same camera because it uses 900mhz.... and we are not allowed to use anything on 900mhz cuz it messes up the controls.

I've looked into buying a new wireless camera but the problem is that most that are above 900mhz frequency are very expensive. We are also running a little low on funds....
So I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to get a camera on the robot.

I can think of 2 solutions:
1) Buy a new camera or change the existing camera to use a different frequency... mind you that would be VERY hard....

2) Mount a camera on the robot that records. It doesn't send anything. Problem is that it most likely would be a camcorder. And if I did that, there is a possibility that it would be smashed to pieces during the competition.....

So... any suggestions would be appreciated...
Thanks in advance!
