Trackballs and CMUcam

Hey all, this question is mainly geared towards team T.H.R.U.S.T. 1501 after seeing their robot video, but if anyone else has any thoughts, please chime in!

Hi, my name is Dan, I'm a mentor on team 395...2trainRobotics. I saw that you guys had the CMUcam tracking the trackball really nicely, and had a few questions about your setup if you wouldn't mind. I saw that you had a pot on there....are you perhaps using a motor instead of a servo for panning? And also are you using any additional lighting on the robot? Or did you find that it was unnecessary? Any additional details would help too, as we are planning on trying to get this working during our FIX-IT windows .

Thanks Sooo much,
-dandon
