Re: STEREO VISION - Stereolabs ZED Camera

Wow... I had no idea I would never use this camera until now.

Seriously though, even with a discount, that's a lot of money for that product. I get that it has a high resolution but I honestly can't see who in the FRC community is actually going to use this.

Largely because the alternative is an Xbox 360 kinect, a device that has had half a decade of being developed for by the community. Seriously setting up SLAM for a kinect in ROS is almost easier than installing the FRC plugins.

Also, when I got another for myself a few months ago it was 25 bucks used at GS, so unless the discount is quite literally an order of magnitude, I don't have much hope for this device.
