Re: Decoupling the image acquisition from the Image Processing

I've read the 30 fps threads and to be honest, I'm a skeptic. I'll have to see it to believe it. In my opinion, 4-5 fps is perfectly adequate to be able to manually (or autonomously) line up a kick-shot.

I'm of the school of thought that more/faster is not necessarily always equal to better. ... and sometimes it'll come back and bite ya'.

It's one thing to "tweak" the FPS to the max when you're alone on a tether or a private wireless LAN, but it can be an entirely different animal when you're hooked up to an FMS with 5 other 'bots.

I admire their drive to push things to the limit, but IMO, it's too risky to use it during a competition when 4-5 fps can still get the job done.
