Re: How many Robots at the nationals had an operational Camera Track Autonomous?

We had our camera tracking working for our second to last match I think, and we scored 6/7. Our robot had our camera mounted to our turret, so we could estimate the error in angle based on the position of the target in the image. We would add that error to the angle that the turret was pointing (found by potentiometer) to get our final error. And since your PID loop really just needs error, this will skip the need for a gyro to a point, since it won't remember target location.
