Re: How to get rectangles to display on Camera Dashboard

If you want to verify the tape's retro-reflectivity, a cell phone with the flash turned on works quite well. I use this at events to identify if any other materials in the arena are retroreflective and need to be covered.

You can put the two types of tape near one another and verify whether the tape is the issue. They should shine super-bright. Technically, they should be about 300 times brighter than a white paint sample, but that will be hard to verify. Similarly, an image of the two tapes near one another using the ring light and the Axis camera is an even better test for what the robots will measure.
