So this was the Team 698 Teaser. We took the camera google donated, then rewired the camera to run off of two relays (one to turn the camera on and one to take the pictures) those two relays were then powered by spikes. The camera is powered off of a car GBA adapter about 4.5 VDC from 12 VDC. It was a fun, cool, outside project.

Spikes?
One provides camera power and the other flips the shutter?
Amazing. Do you guys actually take any photos from the field?

The camera requires you to hold the mode button to turn it on(one spike) and another spike to take the picture. The reason we have the blue relays is because the spike have an output of 12 VDC and that would fry an electronic circuit in the camera, so a secondary is needed to be used to complete the circuit.

It would be really interesting to see a slideshow of pictures taken every 5 seconds or so during a match, from the robot's point of view (Especially if it tipped over :-)
