Re: Cameras (+IMUs)

I actually think we will see more cameras on robots this year than in most years because the field so rather congested. Both USB and enet cameras are supported for this, but if you want it to be easy, I think it is worth the extra money to buy an Axis camera. They are security IP cameras that are specially designed for this and if you start looking around you, you will find them in the ceiling of all sorts of places. Many will be bigger and in a protective housing, but the small ones are pretty easy to find too.

Doing an Axis camera for the DB for the drivers, and a camera on the robot for automation is exactly the direction our team is heading -- I think.
