We really like the entire system this year...especially the cool bright green lights.

We did some experiments yesterday...our camera system (using bells and whistle code) was able to track the green light from about 50 feet away. In fact, our shop machinery is mostly green. The camera never once got faked out by all of that.

We didn't even do any calibration as of yet...almost afraid to mess up a good thing. :-)

We were able to operate two variable speed controllers (no motor connected) to demonstrate the ability to turn a robot toward the light. Really cool.

Of course, we got this to work after experiment, failing and then reading docs to learn we needed the 2006 controller and the latest IFILoader .12.

Last year, it took us 5 weeks to get the robot to track and follow green...this year..we did it by day 3.

Thanks to all involved in making this easy to use.
