About that robot, I've noticed (when my team had it built) that it was very hard to control, even with an extra 130 lbs (me) sitting on it. We had lots of trouble turning, even on carpet. How did the CMUCam work with that robot?

Uh .. The CMU cam still needs some tuning. It was more attracted to the trees and the green panels on the fence than the actual vision tetra.

As for the wheel, we dont have any decent video of it yet. Next time we have it out .. we'll shoot some video of it doing figure 8's or something and post it. One of the adults who drove it said it steered like a stock car.
