This one is a bit complicated, the programming team requested the ability to rotate the camera 31 degrees to the right and left of center depending on which auto program we ran.

The part that holds the camera and blue part are 3D printed, the rest is common hardware except for a rather interesting part. http://screencloud.net/v/tAqD

The small piece of what looks like threaded rod embedded in the clear part that holds the camera is a spring plunger. The blue block is bolted to the robot and has 3 indents in it, one for -31deg, one for looking forward and one for +31deg, as you rotate the mount about 4 inch 10-32 the spring plungers snap into the indents locking it in place.
