Re: Camera Works Well with the Balls!

last year, you had to set the camera to CMYK mode, and adjust the red, blue, green, and white gains so that the light appeared as a purple smudge on the camera's vision field.

this year you can keep the gains normal and the mode in RGB, but you have to watch out for the fact that there may be multiple blue/red balls in your field of vision, which will throw your tracking algorithm for a loop, and will not point you at the ball at all (probably somewhere in the middle of the overpass)

be careful, though, with your intended code. external electronics are NOT allowed to control motors, and that includes the servos.
