Re: How high does the camera have to be

if you use a tilt servo, then I think that every height will do as long as the camera will have nothing to obstruct it's field of view.
I didn't test itthough, so don't rely on it(I did test the servo and it is quite capable to make my camera turn almost 180 degrees, but the camera isn't mounted on the robot yet, so i've no reliable data

The getting started guide suggests about 36" ideally, I have not tried this out personally though.

Re: How high does the camera have to be

It doesn't matter, as long as you remember to take the height of the camera into account when calculating the distance you are away from the vision tetra.
