Re: Light Sensor Suggestions

If you want to recognize shape, you need a camera.

The lights around the goals are for the benefit of people. Arena lighting will make it difficult for a computer to interpret them consistently. The retro-reflective vision targets will be much simpler to detect, and there is example code for using an Axis camera to recognize the targets and identify the hot goal.
