Things you can accomplish with the camera

[2185Bilal]

Just as the title says, could someone give me like a list of things you can do with the camera. For example, one thing i learned was that, u could find the distance between the robot and the goal (pretty neat)
So stuff like that

Thanks for the help

There is quite a bit ... but its tricky stuff!

1. Distance to a specific goal
2. Distance to a frisbee (see http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112837)
3. Location within the field (see http://www.roborealm.com/FRC2013/slide050.php)
4. Obstacle Avoidance (if it isn't floor, then avoid it!)

.. for a couple examples.

Could also use the red,blue and white lines on the floor to align your robot perhaps prior to firing ... or at least watch the floor side boundary to drive straight.

STeven.
