Many will be bigger and in a protective housing, but the small ones are pretty easy to find too.
Doing an Axis camera for the DB for the drivers, and a camera on the robot for automation is exactly the direction our team is heading -- I think.

Hi Greg. Hopefully I'm not going to be accused of hijacking this thread by asking this question. Can the RoboRio (with LabView vision tools) support other USB cameras besides the Microsoft Lifecam? I really like the Lifecam for the Dashboard view and/or targeting but we need a wider field of view this year. There are other cameras with wide-angle capabilities but I'd hate to buy one if the RoboRio can't support it.
