Re: So what happend with our camera?
Our CMUCam has an annoying tendancy to freeze up and stop tracking/communicating with the RC. The whole unit is freezing, since the 'tracking' status LED on the camera locks itself on or off and no longer responds to the green light.

We still aren't sure exactly what is causing it, but I think we're going to re-initialize the camera if it stops talking to us. I'm not sure if that will fix it, since it seems like it loses communication. It's quite frustrating, overall.
