No, not really.

As for usefulness, yes, but probably not. You might end up having some, er, conflicts, if you try to send data from both to the dashboard or cRio at the same time. To remedy this, you might end up having to write your own networking code to fix this... but I'm not entirely sure about that if it will even work.

Now, assuming if it did work, and if you could get both images to the camera, and the network bandwidth allowed it, you could work wonders with the image processing (i.e. have the easiest time ever located the hoops distance with two cameras).

Thats a big if.

Bottom line: I'd say the benefits are great, but the difficulty is something that would make superman cringe.
