That's neat - I was looking at the cameras today as a result of the BBC article by Rory Cellen-Jones (bizarrely, we were at school together, in the same class).
I've not done Prince's Trust mentoring, but my brother does (we tend not to cross over too much) - a good thing to do - I was a school governor for (too) many years - being a scientist & engineer, that was my remit - as you say, its important to put back. I do, however, mentor (and have funded) a number of small engineering startups and have done (and sold) a few (3) myself (some more successful than others!).
I tried to make it clear that I most emphatically don't "sit on the sidelines bemoaning whatever...", I'm just puzzled as to why this approach has been taken - it is bespoke and overly complex. If you look at Arduinos, there are tons of different shields, including many cameras etc. Not "singing the company song" is often frowned upon, but I've never really been a company man
The engineering in the RPi is great - Broadcom have been fantastic - but I still feel its an opportunity lost.
I guess we'll just have to agree to differ...
