Image Processing with 2 cameras

This works with two cameras too (we played around with the new and old models of the axis cams at the same time).

However, I don't really see why you'd need 2 cameras on a competition robot, unless you have one pointing forward and one back.

You could derive your location on the playing field with 2 cameras. It's a "cooperative" process (in that you know the dimensions of goals, etc.)
