Isn't one of the Mindstorms addons promising a camera (it's probably the one
that isn't out yet)?

It would seem easier to put the laptop on a platform with the camera ON
the bot. You would then have to worry about phone and power, but you
could use a cellular connection, or a coupler with a cordless (haven't
tried the later for data) and an extension cord or solar power if you
were outside.

There are a number of these small video cameras and low power transmitters
to
show up on TV.  Why not mount one of them, use one of the TV tuner card in
the
computer.  The parts are on my Christmas list.  I don't have an ad here
but
there a re a few places that sell them.  Look in Radio Electronics
magazine, I
think that is what it is still called today.

I also have some Amatuer Radio TV stuff but the camera is pretty large and
the
equipment is old so it is power hungry so I have not pulled it out yet.

(...) Rumor has it the Mars exploration set will have a camera, but there's no confirmation as yet. Daniel "Dan'l" Miller Senior, School of Aeronautics and danielmi@expert.cc.purdue.edu Astronautics, Purdue, Indiana danielmi@cartoon.ecn.purdue.edu (26 years ago, 25-Nov-98, to lugnet.robotics)
