Re: camera help!

The camera, because it is controlled by servos, has a limited range, something between 180 and 270 degrees (this is assuming you don't modify it to allow it full rotation). If you have your robot facing such a way the camera cannot rotate towards the other light, you should have no problem. I hope we will be equipping a switch to deactivate the camera just in case something like this does happen, that way we can reposition. As for autonomous mode, limit the camera range more if necessary, and pray you don't get turned around by another robot.
