Re: Flashlight

When I talked to Code Red (2771) at Traverse City, they had an infrared filter over their camera and an infrared light next to it. The said it produced an image where only the goals were visible making image processing easier. I am sure they have more information, but I will be trying it this summer.

Re: Flashlight

This is the wrong approach to create an aim point. You want to collaminate as much light as possible, not reduce the emission with a pinhole.

Maybe you just want to have the drivers practice lining up so the human player can sit there and load discs while they're shot out of the shooter.
We actually use a line on a camera image to get it close and then do adjustments as needed.

It has worked well for us and I would recommend it.
