Re: How many cameras can the robot have?

Weight: A small camera is under a pound. You would not run into this limit until you had like 100 cameras.

Power draw: I've read the power that a webcam uses is about 125 mW. If you limit your cameras power consumption to 40W, which is less than a single motor can use, then power isn't a limit until you have 320 cameras.

Bandwidth: Cameras can be configured not to send data back to the driver station. Therefore the available bandwidth can support an unlimited number of cameras.
