Re: Anyone thinking about using a raspberry pi with a webcam for visibility in the pi

We ran a GoPro in our pit last year to create a day-long stop motion video. It was pretty awesome. No RPi needed.

Surely you're asking if you can use an RPi to do image processing on your robot so that you can output postprocessed image to your Driver Station. If so, the answer is yes -- we did this last year (created a web server on a BeagleBone actually) and viewed our postprocessed game piece tracking images on our DS with a web browser connected to the unique IP address of the BeagleBone.
