Mind telling us a bit more about the project? *says the curious programmer*

The project is called RoboMagellan. We are given GPS coordinates of an orange cone and have to autonomously navigate to it avoiding trees and other obstacles along the way including varying terrain. There are also bonus cones that can be touched to score higher.


I was thinking about using the CMUcam, but my team has never done this before. Would i be able to easily program it to know where a cone is? With the light sensor, I was thinking to just have the robot rotate in place when it knows its near the cone and once the sensor detects orange, it will know that the cone is in front of the sensor.
