Re: What does your camera do?

We gave a valiant effort to get our camera working. There was a lot of code written before we came to the conclusion that it was simply not reliable enough to take control of the robot for shooting. We ended up just coding up a PID loop similar to our original plan, except using the gyroscope to hold a heading. (We even got the Radioshack Innovation in Control award for it at Palmetto)

Ideally I wanted to use the two in concert to hold a heading, and adjust that heading depending on feedback from the camera. Oh well, I can dream can't I?
