[15-Feature] Use Hybrid's 5Ghz Ubiquiti Antenna to stream video

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
The problem is related to the latency of the videofeed, which is a few milliseconds. I want to reduce this as much as possible. Hybrid has a spare 5Ghz antenna and rocket M5 that we can use to test if this latency will still exist if we isolate videofeed.

At the time of writing this, USB_cam feed is going through the ROS network, I had ideas of separating it, so theoretically it doesn't have to go through roscore/rosmaster which might explain the latency. Although it would still be useful to figure out if the 5Ghz antenna would just fix this. Other teams also run a similar setup where they isolate 5Ghz for video and 900Mhz for normal messages.

Describe the solution you'd like
Setup the ubiquiti 5Ghz antenna and check video feed
