Looking for an inexpensive video transmitter to connect a normal camcorder
to a remote controlled vehicle.  Using it as an introduction to building
"robotics" for a high school class that I am teaching.

The kids' basic design so far is to have a base with tires (or tracks) that
will have a standard tripod-type bold that the video camera can mount to. 
It's going to be used as a "rally-cam" or possibly a "sports-cam" if they
can get the weight down enough to move the beast across the grass.

Any good designs or ideas for projects like this?  I'd like to expand into
robotic arms and PC-controlled robotics by the end of the year if possible.
 If not, perhaps next year.

Anyway... any input would be appreciated.

Thanks!
