This is cool! It looks like something that I would do*. Cameras mounted on small robots get some pretty interesting footage - especially in crowded areas when people aren't expected a robot. Just make sure that no one walks off with the robot, camera and all.

*Well, I didn't do it, bit our team did something similar a few weeks ago with our team's Squarebot. We put a omni-wheel on the back, so we could pop wheelies, while continuing to drive forward. Part of our high school was shaped in a giant square, so we were able to pop a wheelie going all the way around the school.

Oh man, I bet that's even harder to interface with than the CMUCam

I should talk my team into doing that. It'd create some cool stock footage for videos, I would think.

Well, I just got back from the tournament and am in the process of editing the video. The footage from the FLL Field is crazy, how cool it looks, and it also provided some fun chasing it around with the FRC robot trying to "capture" it with a tetra.
