Re: CMU and 2008

Interesting thoughts...Of course, this was our first consideration as well. We're planning on testing further, but were wary of the camera's ability to distinguish between the non-illuminated objects with ambient lighting above.

At the moment, we are investigating its use in hybrid mode as a way to keep the IR receiver in line with our remote. The RoboCoach will be able to hold a flashlight tinted with a color the cmu will be trained to track. IR receiver mounted on the camera...you get the idea.
