Re: Linux Cam!

Team 245 was working on a module for their coprocessor code that would let you use a webcam in place of a cmu cam but I don't think it ever got out of development.

How are you planning on running this on your bot? If you are going to use Ubuntu, how are you planning to speed up the boot. My team used the base install of Debian(no gui) which we trimmed down a bit so our coprocessor boot's supper fast after receiving power. We were thinking about interfacing a usb optical mouse to it but we eventually figured that our bot would be moving to fast for it to be accurate.
