Re: paper: How to Get Multiple Cameras on Robot
Easy if you use USB webcams like we did with a laptop on the robot.
You can easily put 2 webcams on a laptop, sometimes 3 (depends really on the number of root hubs in the laptop, most netbooks have 3 USB ports but only 2 root hubs).
If you use a MultiTT USB hub you can usually get to 3.
We can confirm that putting a laptop within the rule restrictions is allowed and has passed inspection at 3 competitions.
It's quite cost effective as well. Consider how much 3 of those Axis cameras would cost versus the $25 webcams.
You can get 1080P webcams now. Think about what you could do what that sort of resolution. Think about what you could do with 45-50 frames a second from some webcams at 640x480.
