Re: Reliability of Pixy Camera?

So the PixyCam has a pretty good resolution, though depending on the year may not work well enough, we actually got ours to work to about the mid-line. Also the boulders do seem to be a problem. Also to get a live feed from the pixycam it isn't very possible, yet. (I'm hoping pixy releases an FRC version becuase they have an FLL version.) Though, my team didn't need to use anything other then what is provided by Pixy, the Pixycam and the Pixymon, to interface. We also didn't have any brown out problems. I do believe the PixyCam is very worth the cost, because on-board processing is better than off-board processing, and to set-up something like you would: need a camera, a kangaroo computer, and led lights. All this can come to a much more hefty price than the PixyCam. (which my team paid $100 for are setup and the other setup I'm talking about is nearly $200 or more.)
