Instead of 4, general cameras i think that 2 would be sufficient.
one of the cameras would be pointing towards the ceiling, with a reflective cone over it.
This would allow for omnidirectional vision.
This camera would be useful for most tasks ie navigation, collision avoidance

the second camera would be on a pan / tilt gimble.
This would be used for finer details that the omni camera couldn't pick up.
a use for this would be the vision target this year, use this camera to line up the bot exactly
