Re: Ten Foot Pole behind the castle wall

We ran a bird's eye camera on our driver station for a couple matches this past weekend, by fitting the base of a telescoping pole into a matching hole on our driver station and stabilizing it with a velcro strap around a permanently installed brace. (We actually designed rev.1 of the system last year, but never ended up needing it.)

Anyways, it turns out that the "Camera High Atop Of a Stick" (CHAOS) development team didn't put enough thought into the placement of the monitor on the DS, or the camera's field of view for that matter; the drivers reported that CHAOS wasn't actually at all helpful in its current configuration. We'll see whether or not they end up revising it for Troy...
