Will FIRST allow a robot to have a camera on-board? Live view from the robot view.
Here’s a (relatively) inexpensive camera for this opportunity. I found this camera on the internet.

This would be considered a ‘non-functional’ decoration, and would fall under rule M10. Because of the signal broadcasting however, it falls under this subpoint of M10:
- Any decorations which involve broadcasting a signal to/from the robot, such as remote cameras, must be cleared with FIRST prior to use.

You definitely have to clear it like Nate said… but I know in past year’s the team from Naval Undersea Warfare had a camera on board and FIRST used to put some of it on the big screen @ the new england regional…

That would be awsome. I would love to have a camera on-board. We could show all the people with the money back home exactly what it is we do with ourselves. : ) Yeah!!
