So, FIRST removed the "no packaging material" exception?

Ooh, the loopholes!

To answer JoeXIII'007's question about connecting the camera to another controller:
I don't think you can do that, based on rule R57 quoted below. The BASIC Stamp is a custom circuit and, the way the rule is written, it cannot command the camera directly.

If you are concerned about having the camera and multiple sensors connected to the main controller (and I certainly am ), I'd suggest offloading the other sensors to your BASIC Stamp or whatever you're using and sending the info back to the RC with the "Program" serial port, since you'd be using the TTL serial port for the camera.
