2 Cameras in Java

[GeeTwo]

I was not involved with programming this year, but from my conversations with the programming mentors and students, I understand that we had difficulty using two cameras on the same USB bus. This problem appeared not to be java-specific, but a USB camera issue. It seems that most USB cameras (and all of the ones we had on hand at that time, including some KoP cameras) grab something like 60% of the USB bandwidth when they start up. Running two cameras without taking pains to limit these allocations, you are certain to have trouble. If you can't find any detail on how to do this online, PM me and I'll contact the mentors to find out how we resolved/mitigated the issue.
