Only problem is, it would take over a minute to test one frame on most people's desktops!
Good luck!

I'm not necessarily going towards shape recognition. This isn't for FIRST. I am trying to develop an autonomous robot (based on a RC truck chassis) that can find the easiest way to a beacon that will be hidden in the woods. So it's going to have to drive around trees/rocks/etc. but still not run away from a dust cloud and the like.
Should I be looking into technologies other than video?
