Re: Does G14 prohibit using a webcam on the driver station during AUTO?

For heaven's sake. Here, let me channel the GDC:
Quote:
Will gesturing at your webcam cause a change of state in the operator console program or robot? If yes, then you are interacting with the operator console or robot, which is illegal per G14.
I mean really, there's only two options here. 1. Gesturing at your webcam in AUTO does something on the robot or operator console, in which case your action has caused a reaction on the robot or operator console, which is a pretty basic definition of interaction.
2. Gesturing at your webcam in AUTO doesn't do anything on the robot or operator console. Which complies with G14. I suppose you can write a program to do things with the webcam and then dump the results to the bit bucket, but that seems like a waste of time.
