Re: Multiple Light Tracking with Distinct Light Boxes

Seems like a pretty good idea. But there's a few problems that I can see so far:
  1. In order to get angles to each target, you would need to rotate the servos around to one target, then to the other. How fast would this be? (This is my first year in FIRST, and I have no idea on how anything really works.) Maybe there's a way to get the angles out of the pixel count and current position? If that was possible, we could use trig to get a position fix relative to the Rack, and even be able to go for the columns without the targets above them, which will be harder to locate.
  2. How would this be affected by the movement of the bot and the servos? It seems like putting the camera in polled mode would interfere with that.
