Re: Decorative LEDs?

Our team was planning on targeting the field team color lights as a form of navigation. Those lights are red and blue. Realistically anything you put on your robot, could interfere with a vision system depending on how well the vision system works and what its goal is. At some level the vision system needs to be able to handle reasonable interference. Even so, I'd recommend that you keep the lights on the lower half of the robot, all the targets are up high and a simple mask on the field of view could eliminate problems with low lying interference.
