Re: Who used Driver Station for Vision?
The RoboBees (FRC 836) used a laptop as well for stereo vision processing.
I'll see if we have our white paper completed for the process. There are some optimizations we performed and some general algorithm guidance for using range and angle to target.
On the topic of bandwidth, we would be lucky to get a constant 10-12 Mbps during the past year. At the DC Regional, we had to change the camera resolution and refresh cycle a few times to get the bandwidth usage down even further. I will caveat that I am not on the command and control (programming and sensors) subteam, so I do not know all the intricacies in the process.
I anticipate FIRST instituting QoS this next competition season, but don't expect much more available bandwidth than realized this past season.
This is a good time to start thinking about embedded development platforms such as a PandaBoard.
