The problem I ran into last night is that it requires a LOT of horsepower! I tried running on a PII/300 and frame capture would fail. Tried a PIII/500, with the same result. Had to go to my VIAO with the P4 before it would run. Anyone else had such a problem with it? (Yes, I downloaded Java from the SUN website and had installed it in all cases.)

The images looked awfull! (green) Tried with white balance on, and they looked blue. in both cases colors were very muted. It had a hard time locking on to a yellow shape on a dark background. I'm worried about the lighting this thing is going to require, and conditions on the field.
