Yes, it is physically and electrically possible to connect multiple CMUcams to the RC. But once you do, what are you going to do with the data?

Me any my friend used two old CMU cameras (the current release in the summer of 2003) to do that, although the Acroname GP boards weren't powerful enough to do it very well. In short we had our trikebot find a target, aim, and fire a paintball gun at it (all done on a 2d plane though, 3d wasn't possible, processor too slow). The theory sounded cool, never did get it to perfectly work though... But hey, with the new CMUII cams and PIC processors, shouldn't be too hard
