I'll tell you what, Dave. Mail me another CMU cam, and I'll gladly demonstrate two-camera code for you in Atlanta.
Conceptually, it's not that difficult. Get them both operational (with a little help from Kevin), and mount them on opposite corners of the front your robot. You know the width of your robot (likely 28"), and you can get the two angles from the values of the pan servos. You have angle-side-angle, and there's only one solution to the triangle. Now you know how far away you are. Pivot until the two base angles are congruent, and charge forward until you're the proper distance from the vision tetra. Use the same theory with the yellow triangle to the goal. It's very doable, and I'd love to pull it off. I can't think of a more incredible nerd feat attainable at this age than to meet Dave Lavery's personal challenge.
That being said, I don't think my team is interested in spending $200 on 72 donuts. Thanks for the offer, though, Dave.
