Re: How'd you do it?
Mount it stationary, especially since you arent going to use tilt. The camera is going to have the target in its field of view if you are facing anywhere near direction of the target. Just get the median x (mx) near the center of the field of view and fire. The camera should only be a fine ajustment so no search routine. In auto mode just drive to about where you need to be and have the camera turn the bot a little bit to line up. Same thing in operator mode. Use an LED to indicate Target Locked and maybe a button the driver can push to do the same fine adjustment as auto mode. Just my $.02 Good Luck!
