That's interesting, but I think it will be hard to beat the raw processing power of a dedicated FPGA. The FPGA allows me to use 320x240 resolution, over 6 times the resolution of the CMUCam or the avrcam. It does sacrifice speed a little bit, runnig at a little over 6 FPS, but I have found that to be more than adequate. The increased resolution allowed me to stably track the lights from the home zone, (and far beyond it, actually

).
It is hard to go up against an open-source project, though...
