Looks like this newly-announced camera from A-Wit is pretty similar to the Boe-Bot CMU cam:

Competitors are playing "catch up" to Parallax yet again!

    So the BOL in BOL-BOT stands for Board of Learning. Not the best TLA.

    The CMU cam is available for a few other robots as well. I've seen a Lego NXT version, the Parallax one, and one from Seattle robotics. So I guess the hardware is produced under license or OEM-ed.

    I don't know much about how the CMU cam works. I've seen the videos of it working, but never really dug into it that much. Does anyone have one and like it?
