Re: Reliability of Pixy Camera?

Ok, I think we may have to revisit the pixy cam. Our judgement may have been premature. We went with grip on a Pi2b and an IP camera. The programmers are working on Opencv on a PI3 with IP camera and a native Pi camera. The difference is color blob detection vs object detection. The Pixy cam is a much simpler solution. One can not have enough tools in the tool box for next season. It seams that machine vision is a requirement for FRC teams that aspire to play at a high level. Our best trained operator could aim and shoot at best in 7 to 8 seconds. Our auto aim and shoot was average of 3 to 4 seconds and more consistent.
