Re: Legal Camera Pan/Tilt Mounts?

We wanted to use the pan mount because it gave our robot a much wider line of sight. If the camera locked into a target, your robot could maintain that target potentially up to a 180-degree sight with a pan mount, but only about a 90-degree sight if the camera was fixed to the robot. I'm not sure how useful this addition will really be, but it at least gives our software team something to work on while we wait for the robot construction to be completed.
