If the quality turns out, we're excited that we might be able to bring the equipment down to <$50.

We had not tried any of the replay stuff you mentioned in the writeup, so we'll have to check that out. It'd be interesting to hear from 2337 and 1678 as well about overlays, camera quality, streaming hosts, etc.

How did this camera and setup work out for you guys? I am looking into putting together some higher quality streams for St. Louis going forward and this is a great price point. I went ahead and purchased the camera just to play around with it and see what we could do.

I've been out of the country for most of our events, but I'll send some of our webcast people over here.

I don't think we ever used the cheap camera for an actual broadcast. We're using the GoPro again this year because we wanted to use that widescreen webcam on our robot instead.

I received it yesterday and it does seem perfect for on-board robot use. The field of view is pretty great for a cheap webcam but the video quality was somewhat 'grainy' and had some noise. I suppose you get what you pay for and the GoPro is still a great inexpensive solution compared to some of the high end A/V solutions out there.
