yes, that's a great solution! reminds me of when I was a kid and we use to clamp cards to the fork of the bike to make "motor noise". will need to monitor carefully tire inflation, but can be calibrated with the iterative approach. or just add an extra wheel specific for the task. Then it can be mounted in the center, perfectly aligned with the camera's array, as opposed to the sides of the car where the length of the trajectory is slightly different when taking a turn. Making the circumference of this wheel to be exactly the distance between the the camera's NPPs makes it even easier: trigger at every complete rotation and let the logic decide which camera is next. Who's building the prototype? Yuv
