Would it be legal to have a camera on a tri-pod set up on the side of the field with a wire running back to a laptop at the driver station to have a better point of view of the field? just an idea :smiley:

Obviously not an official ruling, but there’s a ton of reasons this probably isn’t a good idea. Extra wires running around everywhere → tripping/annoying Drivers are on one side of the field, refs are on two sides and the spectators look at the field from the last side so there really isn’t an ope…

I think Karthik recently ruled that attaching a gopro to your bot is legal, but it’s not legal to stream to a computer from the camera. Not quite the same scenario, but I guess you can infer whatever you want from that XD.

My money would be on “No.” If you want to ask, obviously feel free. But it represents an additional time sink for every match, and a tripping hazard for referees.

i did this setup at a small regional event of 10 teams, and it worked fine and there were no problems, but at an event of 40 teams it was too dangerous to do this … i simply put a Gopro on my robot now and watch the footage after the game

Karthik also made a ruling a few years back that no electronic devices would be allowed in the driver stations, even for something as simple as real-time scoring of the match. EDIT: Here is the ruling by Karthik for Round Up. Even a calculator was deemed illegal for a coach to have during the match…
