Re: Legality of CMUCam use

Even if we can see the ball, detect the round-ness of the ball, and guarantee we knew where the ball was, the time it takes to take a single color image is the most prohibitive factor to us using the camera this year. We also had so many problems using the CMUCam last year that we don't want to touch the thing if we absolutely don't have to.

I know that other teams experimented with using cameras other than the CMUCam - anyone want to comment on their success with alternative cameras? Is the serial link the primary performance factor?
