Google Cam
 
Did any one get a memory stick in their kit for the google cam??

No, there wasn't an SD card with the camera. However, there is some onboard storage in volatile memory (meaning download the pictures before turning it off for any significant amount of time).

Check around online, like on Froogle and Newegg, for an SD card. You should be able to get a decent one for somewhere around $20-30.

512 mb sd card for $21 (after $7 rebate).
I got one for my personal camera and have not had any problems with it.

Hold down the button on the back of the camera to turn it on.

Any ideas?

Re: Google Cam
 
are you getting it while plugged in to a pc? or is it always like this?

when it is plugged in, it says "Sto". this is the mode it needs to be in for you get pictures from the camera.

there are 2 modes. Sto and PCC. when you're in pcc you can use the software it came with and use it as a webcam and save video to your pc.

NO WAY! That's sweet!

And everyone was bashing these cams for being "not powerful enough." They may have cut corners to keep price down, but this is a pretty solid product as far as I can tell.

Someone said you could take pictures without a storage card. How do you do this?

The sto was while it was plugged into my PC. I have not seen PCC yet.

It's a $20 camera that happens to be in our kits isn't anything to fantasize about. I like the camera's size, and It's good for teams that just might not have a digital camera. Times are tough, so we should be lucky that we are so fortunate. I forgot what team this was, but CNN did a documentary about them and even though the had i think about a 1000 dollars to put into the robot, they still won an award. This camera can very easily symbolize Gracious Professionalism, but you guys should think about that yourselves. If I sound like this ( :mad: ) I just mean to shed some light on the less fortunate teams. :)
