wow thats really awsome...we're having a hard time trying to get the camera to lock within 30 feet or something wit out any interference from sudden movements of the robot. every time the "test" bot moves or jerks around the camera would freeze up...which really suck. i wonder if we got it working now? well 143 ft is impressive...very impressive. good luck to u guys :yikes:

Ah, I see what you mean. But wouldn't you still have the uncertainty?

Absolutly, a gyro would be needed. Or some other crude form of figuring out which way you are facing. I suppose if you could get a consistent lock with the cameras, the cameras would know when they've exchanged vision sensors when you lose your lock for a few seconds be cause of turning your robot.

Oh and to whomever posted this picture, please bring down the size of your canvas in paint for future pics.

Remember that you would still be abel to be in 2 possible positions assuming that your not collinear to the 2 lights
