Re: Concerns regarding the green paneling/green shirts

During our Kickoff meeting, we brought this up. The CMUcamI, which we used in a different competition last year to track a orange cone, could pick it up at around 30-45 feet depending on lighting, so, this being CMUcamII, it would imply that it might have a longer range. One solution to just finding the colors on the field would be to mount it low to the ground and to angle it forwards, to limit the distractions it can recieve from its sorroundings.

Edit: During the competition, one of the other robots did chase someone from the crowd who was wearing a brightly colored red shirt when it was going for a orange cone.
