camera / vision system too laggy
DISCLAIMER: I am a mechanical engineer, and a mechanical mentor for the team. If I say something stupid about programming / computers, chalk it up to that.

Since we got the control system early, we decided to play around with programming. We mounted the system on a practice chassis and tried many different things. Using Labview turned out to be very easy once you get the hang of it. What we did find though, was that the vision system (at least through Labview) was very laggy. It was at least 1/2 to 1 second behind reality at all times. As is, this would be useless for controlling a launcher. Has anyone found a way around this limitation?
