True, Battletech uses the assault classification. However, to me, assault implies something that is bulky, relatively slow, and generally loaded with weapons. Look at the Stormbringer on my site to see what prompted my question about sizes. (...) (25 years ago, 21-Mar-00, to lugnet.build.mecha)

There are really good second-generation "conference" type cameras like this year's batch from (URL) . The USB models are $120 with 350k- pixels. They're dinky and come on about 24 inches of leash.
