Re: i wanna answer

I've used a pair of optical mouse chips to track a robot before. The bot moved about as quickly as some of this year's sprint bots move. The key is changing out the lens so you get a longer focal depth.

It is very possible to do, and I hope that we see them in FRC soon.

However, it is not a project to take on lightly. It took my team of 6 many many hours of banging our heads against the wall.
