Well, here's my feeble attempt to steer the ship back towards more
interesting robotics project discussion:

I had an idea the other night about a possible stereo vision system
for a robotics project I am designing.  It would utilize the guts of
a pair of Fisher-Price camcorders and a simple digitizer, perhaps alternating
frames from the cameras.  There cameras are slow scan video so the
data rates wouldn't be overwhelming and they're cheap!

I'm hoping that someone out there in netland has had some experience
working with these devices and can offer some insights as to the
availability of technical documentation and the feasability of
working with them: interfacing etc.
