Re: Camera Tracking

Every time we have sought to use the Axis camera, we have found that it is such a bandwidth hog that it screws up more than we could ever hope to gain by using it.

I'd like to think that it's something with us, and not a fundamental flaw in the hardware or software, but we've tried just about everything you can imagine to get it to work, to no (well, little) avail.

In 2010 it could find the target and turn our robot (with the gyro) to shoot, but could not to do fast enough that a bump wouldn't screw the whole thing up -- and it caused all kinds of watchdog errors in the process.
