Re: Different camera capitability?

The bright light approach doesn't rely on the retro-reflective tape. It is the equivalent of a car's headlights. From a helicopter or hilltop, you can see which way a car is pointing because you can see the shape their headlights make on the ground and surrounding objects. By using a narrow beam of light that causes a streak across the carpet and wall, the driver can determine how the robot is oriented.
