I'm sure the same can be said for most other teams

Tim, I played with my digital camera, and I found out that it can also act as a webcam (its a 4.1 MP camera). I have tested it and it is confirmed to be working.

The problem with my camera is that it eats through two AA batteries very easily. At the moment i dont have any AA batteries. That might be a problem.
otherwise, if anyone has a 3V DC charger (its a very small head size) then we could forget about batteries and run it off the main power supply (the only thing im worried about is that the charger anyone supplies may supply too much current).

if your interested, I will definitively bring mine.

Edit, my video camera (which i have a rechargeable batteries for and a DC power supply) can act as a webcam, the downside is that it needs a firewire port.
