NetMarket (www.netmarket.com) carries a transmit/receive pair made
by Recoton.  It's intended to transmit audio/video around the house.
Ours includes a gizmo to extend your remote control capabilities, and
it cost about $120.  Just the transmitter/receiver pair can be had for
under $100, I believe.

[glashan] spake unto the ether:

I wonder if anyone out there can help me with this:
Im looking for a cheap video transmitter or circuit diagram. Ive got a small
board camera on my bot and I need to find some way of sending the video to
my TV.
I dont want to go out and spend thousands on this, so I'm just looking for a
short range device.

JDR Microdevices (http://www.jdr.com) sells a $25 short-range VHF
TV transmitter kit.  It's all analog, so there is some drift with warmup and
it needs a very stable power supply, but otherwise it works great.  The
observer robot in our Egg Hunt contest, Cambot, is equipped with one.  It
broadcasts on Channel 4 to a widescreen TV; the spectators love it.

It *is* a kit, so you need to solder about 20 components to the
single-sided board.  It has full schematics and troubleshooting, etc.
