Re: What does your camera do?
Interesting story about this actually.

Our camera does nothing (nothing useful anyway), it's there and shakes like crazy when powered.

Anyway, we were doing something to our robot in the pit when we hear an announcement come over the PA. "We have a CMU cam here at the pit desk, the referees say it fell off of a robot".

Our team starts having a good laugh at the thought of another team's camera just falling off their bot during a match.

Then one of our mentors looks at our robot and says "wait a minute... where's our camera?"
Yeah..... we felt pretty awkward.
