Try making this a poll.

Oops. I just added my vote to we have it up and working now, which is questionable. The camera itself works but I dont know if I can make our autonomous work. But we had the camera guiding kitbot quite nicely last week, then we ripped kitbot apart for parts. We do plan to use the camera though.

We have the camera working, but not to the point of guiding a robot around, since like you, we pirated parts off the kit bot. So how fast and how well did it "guide" your robot around?

We could change the speed, but at the speed we had it running it could go about 6-8 feet per second, and it would stop about a foot and a half from the tetra plus or minus a few inches, and it would almost always be oriented so the center of the tetra was within about 15 degrees of straight ahead of the robot. I should have it up and running on our competition bot today. It should be fun.

We want to use it, and one of our teachers wants that to be a big priority, but I don't know at this point.
