The robot will need many camera feeds to see all the different parts of the machine whilst operating. Most of the feeds could be low res so we could save a lot of money by choosing the cheapest camera for our needs.
One option is to choose a cheap webcam but it would be good to look at other options as well. Please consider the following issues:
Needs to work outside (try and find camera reviews to see if other people have tested this for a particular camera)
Can be low res (e.g. 240x320)
Need an affordable way to attach many of these cameras to a computer
Smaller size is good for fitting it on robot & adds less weight
