I plan on running the camera off the EDU controller as well as the servos, in the same setup that was used by most team this year in FRC. Once I finish modifying the TTL chip to work with the EDU controller i will be able to start. The main purpose of this project is to track multiple colors as well as have a demo robot... Anyone have any other ideas for sensors or other interesting things i could do? I was thinking maybe putting a range finder sensor mounted right underneath the camera pan/tilt base...
