Re: Image Processing with 2 cameras

However, I don't really see why you'd need 2 cameras on a competition robot, unless you have one pointing forward and one back.
You could derive your location on the playing field with 2 cameras. It's a "cooperative" process (in that you know the dimensions of goals, etc.)
