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?

And yet after... 3 days of trying I still havent gotten one camera to control anything but the servo on the camera board
. Back to re-reading for a 20th time.

If I am going to give away six dozens tasty treats without allowing any for myself, I have to make sure that the challenge is really worth it! C'mon, are you all going to leave Kevin as the only contender?

I think I know how to get two involved and finding the correct tetra between the cameras but again I need to get it working with one first.
