Is anyone using a video camera on their robot to be thier "eyes">? If so what kind of camera are you using? I have been searching for one but they all are either too expensive or require DC input. Thanks

Aside from being illegal to use a camera as a driver's aide, this topic has already come up many times. Do a QuickSearch for "camera" and you'll find a whole bunch of good threads on the topic.

I am pretty sure that it is not illegal. Please cite the rule for me if I am wrong. I am going to go reference the rule now. thanks alot for your input

As I said, do a search (both here and on FIRST's forums):
