Re: Turrets and cameras

Greg, this is great information. We'll definitely spend a lot of time in Florida figuring this stuff out, as our shooter is the last thing we have to fine tune.

Our setup: we mounted our camera up as high as possible on our bot; the lens is roughly 55" off the floor. We do not tilt the gimbal; instead it pans to three set locations left, center, and right. We'll add a glare shield to the upper portion of the protective lexan cover we made, and bring back some settings & results from Florida next week. Too bad we can't get the camera feed back to the laptop during the matches -- I'd love to FRAPS it so other teams can see what we tried that may or may not work so they can further perfect the whole system.
