Hey, look at:

You should see the "sugar Cube" Camera. It runs on 5v 10ma, a power level
easilly provided by a solarcell. Any ideas? Possibly, Hey Wilf! think you
could come up with something to interpret video signals? What would be MOST
interesting is if we could find away to interpret the general LIGHT level of
a quadrant of the cameras vision. IE LEFT, RIGHT, UP, DOWN. That way we
could then use cameras as light level inputs to say, a head. I'm thinking
that analog wise, this might be a little difficult.
