Can you provide more technical details on the camera attachments for the visors?

I'm going to try to remember as much as I can baout the Visors. If its not enough, let me know and I can check back at the shop once school reopens. Its called the Eye Module 2. The Eye Module 1 is only in black and white, but teh Eye Module 2 does alright. Cost is somewhere over $100, but I don't think by all that much. As for quality, it depends on what you're going for. To take pictures of robots for technical purposes, they do pretty well. You definitly have to hold the visor steady and there's no zoom, but they do alright for the job (I would not want to buy one as my own personal digital camera). Saves pics in a jpg format and I'd say around 30ish fit on a Visor. Very short black and white video clips can also be taken, but other than having fun with friends we really didn't find much use for them .

In general, I've been really happy with them. Synchronizing is still rather quick if you have a USB cradle for your visor. Any palm (USB or not) would take much much longer. Battery life is shorter with them, but I wouldn't use that as a reason not to get one. Any more questions, just let me know.
