Re: Question concerning vision target

If you are worried about reflectivity, it might be easier to paint the inside of your plywood light box white than to line it with foil. Don't forget to drill cooling holes in your box.

I am not the camera guy on our team, so I am NOT an expert on the camera. As I posted elsewhere, I talked to a very experienced robotics engineer who said that the CMU camera is prone to oversaturation from ultraviolet, which most fluorescents produce in abundance. He used a UV filter on the robot that won the Robo-Magellan competition at the 2005 Seattle Robothon event. Unfortunately, I don't know what kind of filter he used.
