Care to elaborate on the functionality, purpose, design implications with TWO cameras???
The camera near the shooter is used to lock the shooter onto a hoop and automatically adjust the motor speed so all that the drive team has to do is press the "fire" button.

The 2nd camera (the one near the intake) is primarily used to aid drivers with ball collection, but it could possibly be used to automatically lock onto a ball and pick it up (we have a ball recognizing algorithm written but it isnt in any current code on the robot).
