We are using a robot builder based project. So we created a subsystem called HotCamera. We changed the filter from HSV to RGB, look for a width to height particle ratio greater that 3:1, and look for a particle wider than a defined size.
Code:
// RobotBuilder Version: 1.0
//
// This file was generated by RobotBuilder. It contains sections of
// code that are automatically generated and assigned by robotbuilder.
// These sections will be updated in the future when you export to
// Java from RobotBuilder. Do not put any code or make any change in
// the blocks indicating autogenerated code or it will be lost on an
// update. Deleting the comments indicating the section will prevent
// it from being updated in the future.

We then created a WaitForHot command. Also we only call the isHot function once every 10 loops and this helps to avoid any Robot Drive Not Updated Enough issues.

We are also using a blue LED ring light and the exposure is turned way down on the camera.

Are we really at the point where the only useful thing we can discuss is Dean's choice in timekeeping apparel? The man has a watch. He uses it to tell time. Do we really care how much it is worth, or who made it? I would be much more interested in what he does, not what he wears. - dlavery [more]
