Dual Cameras - Dual Purposes

In my physics class, we're learning that kind of stuff, so technically it would be just a matter of inputting variables into the correct equations to get time and speed and position, i thought.

I agree! If the accelerometer is sensitive enough, it would be ideal for this. I think it's a matter of getting the right data, though.

Also, i shot you an email because it wouldn't let me PM you, faust.


I'll start a new thread pertaining to the position idea here in a few so we stay on the camera idea in this thread!
