Re: Few Questions over WPILib Code
Because of the huge resources required in doing image processing, there will be too much trade off between speed and usable data, plus there's not much a camera can do for this system, other than provide another type of data acquisition. Ultrasonics can perform object detection just as well, at a far greater rate. With A few gyros, potentiometers and encoders thrown in, too, I'll be capable of placing the arm to the correct height without having to deal with a camera system's code.

Plus, our camera broke.
