What if you bought a smaller, less expensive USB camera "such as the 1 inch square board types," and then bought a very inexpensive dummy security camera off of ebay. Take the dummy security camera, gut the motion sensor and all its electronics out. Then take the&nbsp;&nbsp;1" square camera and place it inside the dummy security camera case behind the lens? Mount servos to the dummy security camera case and you have a cool looking robot camera pan and tilt.<br><br>I know looks aren't supposed to be everything in robotics, but why not give it a try?<br><br>I'd like to try this but before I do, anyone see anything I might be missing in this scheme? http://www.roborealm.com/forum/index.php?thread_id=1578 http://www.roborealm.com/forum/index.php?thread_id=1578 Tue, 30 Nov 1999 00:11:00 EST
