If the CMU cam costs under $100, and this doesn't raise your additional electronics cost over $300, and you can buy the part from the above companies...then it looks like you are ok. Try using the flowchart mentioned above to determine if the part is legal. (again, this is by 2004 standards...this MAY be subject to change)
(a little off topic) I have heard that the CMU cam is quite a challenge to program. It has incredible capabilities. Do you know how to program it or have any resources for learning how?? If so, I think it would be a great thread topic to share your knowledge of this sensor. Please tell us!!! (even if we can't use it for FIRST Robotics)
[edit] I just found the website for the CMU cam if any of you are wondering what it is. [/edit] |
According to the 2004 flowchart it is legal. According to the rules cited earlier, it is not.
