[Team 135]

We are using a Logitec USB webcam, interfaced into a gumstix computer. The gumstix computer is interfaced with all of our encoders and IR sensors via eithernet. The webcam is able to move vertically to see where the ball is. So as we are driving up to the rack it will move up to see the ball. The gumstix computer is running Python linux, with C++ and spin programing running on it. The bot is able to distiguish between red and blue as pre programmed before the match. We are also able to tell it where the starting position is. All of this is done with an onboard screen. The other great thing is we can see the output of the camera directly on a screen on the bot. The on board computer records video of the match so we can replay the entire match when it is over.
