The idea is to have a wireless bluetooth camera using software on your
computer to control your NXT robot in real time.  You could mount your
camera on your bot and have it "see".  The camera would have software (on
the pc) that interacted with your NXT bot much like the Vision Command did
(only wirelessly!).  The software could then send commands to your bot or
run certain code that you previously downloaded to the NXT unit.  Is this a
possibility?

Rob-

Bluetooth can talk to many devices (although only one at any given instant). If
you were going to control your system from your PC, there's no reason to send
the data through the NXT to the PC -- might as well send it directly to the PC.
Bluetooth is good for about 1 Mbs, which would be fine for something low res
like Vision Command.
