The Lego camera connects to your PC through a cable - so it's not much use for mobile robots. The PC could do image processing and send the results off to the RCX - but the cable is a major problem here. > And are there anyone try this before?

The RAM limitations would kill you - even presuming you could find a way to hook the camera up to the RCX...which you can't. The RCX's CPU is kinda slow too - image processing would never really be fast enough for most robotic applications.
