Re: Integrating Computer Vision with Motion Control - FIRST Championship Conference
I think it will be addressed, but I would be curious to hear exactly how much control on 254 is done by drivers vs with vision. What are your failsafes if the vision board suddenly crashes/shorts/explodes?

Also, what other sensors do you combine with vision for a more complete picture of your control system. For example, if you want to know distance to a target, are you using only a camera for that, or are there other sensors that you use to crosscheck your measurements.

And, specifically on your robot, how do you relay to the drivers that everything is in position for a shot? Is there a giant green check mark, does the system just not let you fire until it's ready, is the firing also controlled autonomously, or do you have a different solution?
