Re: 2006 Official Game Hint Discussion

Just a thought about the CMU cam since it keeps getting brought up.

We couldn't get the thing ro stay callibrated because the light conditions varied so much at the competitions even day to day, so unless FIRST solved this problem with say powered LED targets on the the scoring object and goals or something else to eliminate this issue I have difficulity in believing they will just give the same camera again.

It kind of like the IR beacon from 2004 it was better in theory than in the practice of the competitions because there were too many interferences when you got to the competition the FIRST hadn't accounted for. I would hope that for any new sensor this is considered before it goes into the kit again.
