The robostix connects through the 60 pin connector, not the connex connecto=
r.

Connecting the camera through the robostix doesn't really make sense
due to bandwidth issues. You're looking at 1/2 meg to 1
megabyte/second of bandwidth for the camera, and the robostix is only
a 16 MIPS device.

The AVRCam gets away with it because it lowers the resolution to 88 x
144, which translates to around 300K/second.
