Re: Is there a restriction to what sensors we can use?
I use one of the recent versions of the CMU cam on my personal robot. It be one huge challenge to hook up the CMU camera to the RC. The CMU Camera can wirelessly transmit video, I've gotten it to happen once on my robot, but since I got one of their wierd versions, it didnt work, all because the graphics processor was too fast for the camera or something? Basically the thing captured at 12fps and could grab a lot of fuzzy frames.

Even if you did get it hooked up to interpret data or feed live video:
1. It'd be a hard task.
2. The camera consumes a lot of the small resources that are already given. I use acronames GP Board and Moto Board, and when I try to capture frames the robot has laggy response. But then again, I'm not too sure how fast the RC or OI are...
