I'm VERY keen on the idea of remote video!
I want to build a tank I can use at a regular paintball field during 
"normal" play. That being the case, I will HAVE to be able to "see" where 
the marker is firing to by-pass "No BLIND firing" rules.


My only problem with that one system was the price tag on the package.
I know I can get most of the components for a lot less, but I'm pretty 
ignorant in that area of technology and would have no idea what I would 
need.

It might be useful if some one could do a one or two page write up on the 
various options and link it to the RC Tank Combat web page...
