Angry Re: 2006 CMUcam2 Code

look. i don't know jack squat on all of this, and i know this may not be the right thread to post this in, but I'm getting severely disappointed in my team in the fact that all they seem to be doing is yelling at each other and not being very smart about it. i don't mind the argument, but they're all being immature about it.

anyway, i have two questions regarding the camera and the sensor.

Question 1: I don't exactly understand how they want us to build a mock-up sensor target like the one they have on the field. I have the "instructions" (aka, the .pdf file), but I do not understand what the heck some of these pieces look like, how they're supposed to be connected to the base plate, etc.

Question 2: I like the fact that we have code, but what after calibrating the camera, what files would I need to add to the main workspace (MPLab IDE C18) that I am using for the robot?

Question 3 (ties in with question 2): Proving to the world the fact that I am a n00b programmer, how would I be able to re-program the code for the servos for another type of motor? I know that the code for servos differs from that of say a fisher price or a globe motor.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated, and please, pray for my sanity ..
