Re: Reliability of Pixy Camera?
On 1296 this year we used the Pixy for our vision both in auton and teliop, it worked great! We did try and use it for some boulder tracking and this did not work very well outside of ~6in, due to the grey boulder and carpet along with the lack of reflectiveness of the boulder. For a year that does not need shape recognition like this year with the tower the Pixy seems to be a relativity easy solution. My favorite part is Pixymon which allows for super easy tuning.

*Disclaimer I am not a programmer/software guy and most of this info was relayed to me from the programmer.
