Limelight

Limelight is the word used for stagelighting used to focus on specific object/actor in theatre. This has nothing to do with the camera, just a quirky name!

They are a camera + microcontroller used to generally perform auto-aiming and auto-movement.

Standard vision sensor (camera) used in FRC.
