Look into camera's that will be suitable for the sailbot. High quality web cams might be a good option here, but I am not sure how controllable they are, where it might be a good idea to have manual control in certain cases. I will give you an OV7670 breakout board, however this might not be suitable. Another option here is to use a PI Zero to do our CV processing and communicate with the Beaglebone over Etherenet. This way we open up our options to the PI camera market which is quite large.
