Re: What if we want to use the camera to track orbit balls?

If you use the NI Vision Assistant to start off the code to track the balls, you can just import pictures from either the camera or your computer - hence you can download someone's pictures that have all the balls in nice quality.

I think its a good idea and all, but I think where you will most likely have the most trouble is getting a good acquire of the balls via the camera, due to the small color area, the similar colors, and the variable lighting. It probably could work and will work, but I doubt it would be reliable enough to control the robot with.
