Fairly certain, the datasheet for the CMUcam2 module states the max resulution is: 160x255. Granted the OV7620 is 640x480 the CMUcam2 is the limiting factor. Through experimentation we've concluded the resolution based on the vertical mounting we have, is
0-239 x-axis, 'pan'
0-159 y-axis, 'tilt'
(By veritcal mounting I mean we are using the camera mounting hardware included in the kit and the overall leangth of the CMUcam2 module is going up and down).

Looking at the OV7620 datasheet we may be off a little bit, instead of 240 it may be 255 but we haven't checked over all the CMUcam2's registers that might relate to resolution.
