Re: We Want Pictures and Videos of Your Boulders

Alright... it took us a year to get this working but it finally works:

https://youtu.be/OT5FHyLBjCg

That's a video of our robot from 2016 using a neural network based vision system to detect and pick up a game piece by itself (NO DRIVER INTERACTION) from the 2016 game FIRST Stronghold.

And contrary to what some teams are saying about the Nvidia TX1... we love it and we are using it and a Stereolabs ZED camera to detect the boulder and then send data back via ZeroMQ to a a National Instruments RoboRIO running LabVIEW along with a KauaiLabs NavX MXP IMU board to orient the robot, drive towards, and grab the ball.

So to all of you who thought we were joking when we were asking for pictures. We weren't. This is what we've done with them.

Also, check out this awesome custom case for our TX1:


Files for reproduction of the case are available here:

EDIT: Code is available on our Github... it's been out there for a while though.
