[Dumper FTW 435]

Hey guys!
I'm an alumni from FRC team 435 "The Robodogs" and a mentor. I'm competing in robosub with the NC State team. I was really excited to see a FIRST team competing. I write the vision processing code for our team, so I would love to help you guys out if you have any questions. This is my first year on the team, so my knowledge is pretty limited, but I am our teams main vision processing programmer and I based my code off our previous work which included establishing a fairly reliable system for processing images to reduce noise. So at the very least, I might be able to point you in the right direction.

If your problem is specifically with buoys, I'm not sure how much help I will be. I beleive our buoy code was done with haar training, which you don't really have time to do right now.

If you have any questions, I'd love to give you some pointers if I can. I'm not sure what you use for vision processing (we use OpenCV), but it's possible there is some overlap if you use different libraries. Feel free to message me on here, or come by the NC State tent some time.

Good luck!
