To add to what Dave said, the config parameters that the camera takes, step size being one of them, are almost perfect in the IFI supplied RC code. When we hooked the camera up to our 2004 bot we expected to do a lot of tweaking, but what they gave us works pretty darn well. Almost out of the box we were able to drive towards a vision tetra and with a few more lines of code were able to stop when we got close to it. Hook it up to the RC and start playing around, it's easier than you probably think.
