Sorry, just had to get that out.

Anyways our CMU camera controlled both pan and tilt for our shooter. When it was working, it was great, but sometimes it decided to "get jiggy with it" and refused to work properly. Good times.

"Its locked on. I think."
(waves hand in front of lens)
"Nevermind, its not locked on"

or better yet

"Searching... searching... Its got it! Wait, now its searching... searching.."

Also, we have Mark Leon quoted reffering to our robot as "The CMU cam: Its just that easy"

Mike C.
During part of the build season, we had the opposite problem. I quote:

"Ok turn it on. (CLUNK, fans spin up) Searching...... ok it found the lights on the ceiling again."

But I don't mean to hurt the little guy's feelings. We have come sooo far since a few months ago. Camera works awesome now, has been treating us well since the season started and continues to.
