+# spectate system overhaul
+- rip out and remake the entire page
+- right now the spectator page is a mess, and hasn't been updated in a while
+  - does not work properly, aside from the page being out of date
+- the spectate page should use modules from the driver page
+- there should be no such thing as a "spectate mode" on the driver page. If someone wants to spectate, they must go to the spectator page.
+
+## rules of the spectator page
+- spectators are not allowed to drive
+- spectators are not allowed to chat
+- spectators are not allowed to have nicknames
+- spectators are not allowed to login as admin
+- these are the permissions for spectators based on the sever's access control mode
+  - open
+    - spectators can spectate
+  - turns
+    - spectators can spectate
+  - admin
+    - spectators can spectate
+  - lockdown
+    - spectators can NOT spectate
+
+
+## what should be on the spectator page?
+- for each rover
+  - video component
+  - current driver
+  - sensor telemetry component
+- logs
+- room cameras
+- online user list
+
+## problems with the current spectator page:
+- video pane does not load sensors
+- spectator page works when server is in lockdown mode (wrong)
