Re: How to vibration isolate camera ?
I'll also throw my advice towards eliminating the source of the vibration rather than trying to isolate the camera from a vibrating frame. If nothing else, try with other wheels of the same model to see which introduce the least vibration. Another stiffener you may try is guy wires to anchor it to the corners of the robot.
To modify the frequency of the vibration transmitted to the camera, you may try some different density of rubber, polystyrene, urethane, etc. If you can extend the bolt, add a rubber bushing to hold the bolt away from the edges of the mounting hold, and add the right density of material on each side, you can certainly improve things, and of course adding some mass to the mounted camera will modify the period too.
Keep in mind that the camera exposure is probably between 5 and 50ms, depending on the lighting -- faster on the field, slower in the dim shop/classroom.
