How expensive is "so expensive"? How does that cost compare with USB cameras? How about compared to the cost of the CMUcam? Are you considering any specs of the cameras besides the interface?

I can get a 30fps @ 640x480 for $19.99
here (yeah, I know ... it looks like mr burns
). As long as the resolution/focal length is acceptable then all that would be needed is a USB interface into the cRio (**wishes**)
The CMUcam is $239.00
here and still needs an interface as it's serial (I haven't seen any serial interface on the cRio).
And the thing I was really interested in, though, was the ability to Frame Grab and IR with multiple cameras.
