That could be done.

Besides how far can I use legos? Can i use them in my further studies,
like can 2 cameras be attached and effectively controlled so the robot is
aware of its 3D environnement. Can i do AI stuff on it?

You can't do the AI in brickOS. If you use 2 cameras, you must connect
them via USB to a "real" computer. But you could use a Linux machine for
the vision system and send commands via the IR-Tower to the brickOS
operated RCX.
What about the fuzzy logic (is that the right term?) in demo/trailerbot.c?
AI is a very wide field.

You are not limited to the LEGO camera, you could use any camera that
Linux can handle. I have the original LEGO camera and work with it under
Kylix on Linux. You must fiddle with V4L but I managed to get it to work.

Regards,

Michael
