But yeah, this is very nice. One possible tweak that someone might think about is designing a Bluetooth interface, then having the robot connect through someone's laptop and beam streaming video from the new cameras to a video stream server. Make it happen!

EDIT: Anyone know any good whitepapers on the digital stream format the FIRST cameras send out?
It appears from the demo videos that they use a standard Ethernet camera, and that it is possible to stream the data over the Wireless connection.

Usually Ethernet cameras use very simple protocols, often just a stream of JPEGs, but there doesn't seem to be very much standardization in this area.

Coding4Fun did an article about streaming Ethernet camera data, and doing motion detection a while ago.
