Apparently, sixteen pictures are taken each day, from six different positions. SO, six cameras. This will be a bit more expensive than I thought.

Unless you use one camara with a wide-angle lense and a servo-mount. There is your engineering challange.
BTW your laser idea for the stentor line works. So take a bow.

Well, another problem is that due to the layout of the seats in a semi-octagonal fashion, I'm still gonna need to move the camera to get head-on shots. I'm thinking of running a line transversely across the room and having the camera, servo-mount and mini-computer attached to that. It moves across the room, hanging down from the track, taking pictures at the right locations, and then moves back to its dock to recharge its batteries. I'd need some way to keep it from swinging, but that shouldn't be too hard.
And it WORKED!? You'll have to give me more details! When should I expect my payment?

We have to wait for the lasers to arrive, but it worked on a small scale trial on a blown-film line running the same resin blend. Then it's just a matter of mounting them and installing the logic boxes.
Payment... Got 200meg of "hot wife" pictures here, where should I send them to?

Going to be down that way soon, going to visit Eastman Chemical in Kingsport this spring. Been having some trouble with them supplying crap resin to us, going to invoke our right as a customer to audit thier production line.

Snark: Wouldn't it be easier just to give everyone some sort of scannable ID chip and then check them off as they come in? The forehead or hand are good places to put them, I hear.

That... may be the single funniest thing I've read here in quite some time. Thank you, Simon.

Have your little Canon mounted on a rail to move between the six postions.

Contemplated that. Dr. O'Connor seems to think that that's rather, er, insane. Mainly because it'd be difficult to get it in the same position every time. I think that's fixable, though. The real catch is getting a 100' rail suspended 50' in the air.
