Love to turn my dalek into a bad ass robot but I'd like some ideas from the pro's,,,,,
First problem is the camera it has to be mounted on the stork or it's not worth doing and finding something that small is hard. If you have the 2.4g wireless cam could it be possible to take the camera off the board and run wires through a stork to it ?
I can find some small usb cams but then how would i fit in a itx ? i could go a small linux ip cam but I not good on linux and wouldn't know where to start.
Next thing I would need to power the thing and add better motors h bridge so room is going to be tight
Love to here suggestions
A modded version of this cam would be sweet if I had onboard pc

Borescope Camera
The reason is "servo relative position tracking" .. That makes the head tracking actually much more convincing. I'm going to start using that tracking method more often now. And not put the camera in the head at all. I think having the head "appear to be following objects" and keeping a stationary camera is more reliable.

If you do find a camera to use in the head, it will also be cool.
