[Robotics] Displaying multiple cameras

[koen buys]

For people interested in the solution:

Next to the layer buttons in the 3DView header there's a Lock button. It
'locks the active camera to the view'. Disable it for all your 3dviews (in
separate windows). Now with Ctrl+Numpad0 make the different cameras the
active camera in their own 3dview
