Right, it was a local dealer, probably someone on staff knows someone there. It was a tricked out one, almost all black with a little chrome here/there.
I got pics of the bookmobile, didn't see any names on it like you mentioned.
I'll post some pics now that I'm at work.

Chick, I talked to the camera truck guys (work for city obviously), neat stuff. Their remote inspection vehicle has a 40:1 color zoom/pan/tilt high res camera with 4 wheel drive and can go 1500' on it's tether. It weighs like 200+ lbs to keep it stable, and they're hoping to get approval to buy the newest style which is much smaller yet has the same capabilities, plus it's so low profile that if it flips, the top of the tires will still touch so it can drive itself out.
They also had a lateral camera setup that can stick it's camera 7' into an adjacent pipe and it can fit into a 4" pipe.
That truck was worth well over $1mil. and the city has 4 of them.

I wanted to put it on the ground so they could get on, but was worried about the intake grate. I ended up cutting a water noodle into 4 pieces and sat it on those with them between the chines. It was perfect, the ski had a little wobble to it but the grate was off the ground and it was very stable. Perfect!

Dude, it was awesome. Almost every single one wanted to get on and wear the helmet. I didn't have to worry about a thing either because the battery/gas tank are out of it so they could hit buttons, pull the throttle, whatever.
All the parents/teachers were asking me what the Sickest Trick Competition was and how I won it. I just love trying to describe an invert sub to someone. Jump up in the air, flip the ski over, go straight down under water about 10 feet, then drive out of it. Easy!

Darin,
That is really cool. I'll have to check with my wife to see if our kids school does something similar, and have them do it if they don't already.

I could make some money with a rig like that...:sneaky:
All I have right now in the "sewer camera" inventory is a SpartanCam with a color monitor, built-in VCR, and a locator to pinpoint problem areas. The camera will fit in a two-inch pipe, but is not able to negotiate turns in that diameter piping. We use it primarily in three, four, or six-inch pipes in a variety of manners to identify drainage problems. It is a very valuable tool in capable hands.
