Hello Robotics Experts,

I need your advice to select proper products for an amateur mobile
robot application.

We are building q remotely controlled mobile robot platform (a four
wheel platform capable of carrying approx 30kg). This mobile platform
is going to be equipped with 6 (six) video cameras. The video signals
from this cameras will be transmitted, simultaneously to a central
computer. This computer will be equipped with a multi-input frame
grabber board and it will digitize the multi-camera signals received
from the wireless video receiver/s.
Distance between robot and the central computer will be less than 100m
and robot will be in the line-of-sight with the central computer.
Video quality is very important for our application.

Questions:
* Can you someone recommend a transmitter/receiver pair capable of
simultaneously transmitting/receiving 6 video signals? OR Single
video-channel transmitter/receiver pairs which can be set to 6
different frequency channels so we can use 6 of those to send/receive
6 video signals simultaneously?
* Can you recommend a frame grabber board (not an expensive one)
capable of capturing 6 video signals?
* Can you recommend small color cameras (better than 640x480
resolution)?
* Do you know any open project with similar specs?

All comments and recommendations are welcome.

Regards,

Miem Chan
