Submission + - Teens help Clovis police; build a robot camera (fresnobee.com)
Degrees writes: "From the Fresno Bee: Clovis police needed a camera to spy on SWAT scenes, and two high school students looking for a senior project were able to build just the thing. Brannon Vidmar, 18, and his friend Dennis Ngo, 17, built a remote-controlled device capable of seeing inside a home with a closed-circuit camera. One student's grandfather gave seed money for the project and Pelco offered camera equipment and expertise. The project cost between $25,000 and $30,000, money that Clovis taxpayers did not have to pay. The SWAT camera project is similar to a robot and trailer that Clovis police built in 2004 for disabling explosives."
