Re: Moving to a point between lights with autonomous
How about, instead of constantly checking your position on the field using the camera you only check once and figure out where you need to go. if you have some sort of guidance system (more accurate then time) then it is very possible to dead reckon to a position on the field and place from there. Simply calculate the way the moved the rack based off what you SHOULD be seeing as opposed to what you ARE seeing. Think about how the deep space probes navigate, they have a star map so they know what they should be seeing and if they get something different they react accordingly. One huge advantage is the decrease in the amount of code the processor has to run so it can run faster because it doesnt have to run through the math library every time. Though I like what kaszeta has been saying, if you cant figure it out with the camera there are other options out there. Perhaps your scoring mechanism will automatically find the spider leg... just think outside the box. The idea i posted just now is what I intend on doing (for at least one of the approaches) this year. Hope that wasn't too cryptic and actually helped a little.
