[bear24rw]

Are you allowed to use a camera other then CMUcam, as long as its under $200?

I cant find any rule about it..

I dont see why you wont be, you may be limited though, unless you intend to use a co processor

Are you working with an AVRcam by any chance? Nifty little buggers, seems a bit more useful than our CMUs...

I personally think that it is just better all around... you check it out, just google avrcam

Wow, thats cool I'm going to order one of those

Plus it uses the same camera as the CMUCAM.

At our post-kickoff meeting we tossed around the idea (jokingly) of having a remote camera send a video feed to a LCD screen on our control board...would make scoring on the blind side a lot easier, but I'm pretty sure it's illegal.

There is a flowchart on page 19 of section 8 of the manual that will help you to determine the legality of any part you're interested in using on your robot.
