[robocup-small] Camera Mounting

[Stefan Zickler]

Hi Alim,

typically it is just a cylindrical metal bar. Diameter varies from
competition to competition, but is normally between 3-6cm. The local
organizer might know the exact dimensions for this year, if really
needed. There are usually no screw-holes on the mounting bar.

Many teams use a mounting device such as this one (called the "Super Clamp"):

in combination with the so-called "Magic Arm":

Hope this helps,
Stefan
