Wow! I'm looking forward to reading through the code. Is this something you would consider this season if the opportunity arises? How reliable is it? Can it follow moving game pieces (I noticed you waited for it to stop rolling in the video)? What are the benefits of this over using two infrared sensors, putting them on either side of the robot, and using the difference in distances to align the robot.*
*FRC272 used this method in 2010 to allign with the soccer balls. They wrote about their experience with this method in a powerpoint they used for a seminar last year
here. The video isn't working, but I know this solution worked well for them.
