Anyone thought of the possibility of a IR sensor on the robot to see in darkened conditions?
This would cut some costs as far as field lighting is concerned as well.
Rather than making a target of some kind brighter (ie: going from a painted green panel to a bright light), do the opposite, & make the field darker.
In the past a lot of technology that has been introduced in the kit is a low cost and/or stripped down version of what the big names in science & technology have used.
(oh.. i don't know.. like NASA for instance?)
On that note, do some googling of the word "QWIP" & "NASA".
Some interesting stuff happening there, even if it isn't directly tied in with what we will be doing with IR.
But who knows for sure?
I'll tell you who knows.
The Shadow knows!
