I know it is legal to have the camera from the KOP on the robot. I also know it is legal to have a laptop hooked up to the dashboard port during the match and be running labview. I also know that labview can show an image of what the camera is seeing. My question is, is it legal to display that image from the camera during the match?
(One person on my team said that last year that was illegal, but I don’t know if such a rule existed.)
There isn’t enough bandwidth through the dashboard port to transmit an image captured from the camera. You can, however, send back basic data from the camera and display it in the dashboard application (centroid and bounding box, for example). If LabView does not have a widget to display the camera data, the link below is for a dashboard application that does. http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/1765
