Red face Re: Camera Losing Sight Close Up

I can't answer your question, but just wanted you to know that Team 1286 has similiar camera problems. We can get the camera to work and then suddenly it stops working. In order to get it to work today, we had to remove the green light from the box and expose it so (turn the green lights around) the camera could see it directly about two feet from the camera. This whole camera/light business does not appear to be a very robust system at this point.

I will reading more threads to help figure out our issue. One thread I just read suggested making sure the 12V battery powering the light is fully charge. Another, that the 7.2 V backup battery (which powers the camera) needs to be fully charged as well.
