The first few years of FRC robot vision used a CMUCam. It was an integrated camera and dedicated processor, communicating with the Robot Controller using a serial data connection. We had moderate success with the green plastic vision tetras in Triple Play, and great success with it finding the lit vision targets in the Rack & Roll and Aim High games (with great or little success, respectively, in having the robot do something useful once the target was located).
