Re: Videos from Robot at Boilermaker

I have a question about the lighting at Boilermaker. At Peachtree, there were rows of incandescent lights suspended from the ceiling on both sides of the field just for the event. These lights prevented the camera from seeing true colors. We have yet to be able to solve this issue to our satisfaction. In your videos, I didn't see any incandescent lights. Our camera is aimed upward so that it can see the trailer target when we are in contact with the trailer, and yours seems to be horizontal. That may explain why I didn't see the lights in your video. Were there in fact such lights at Boilermaker? If so, what settings did you use on the camera to get such good color? No matter what we did, we ended up with a washed out looking image, with two slightly different shades of gray instead of pink and green.

Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, did you solve it?
