Aerial Camera for FIRST matches

[Greg McKaskle]

The biggest complication with this is that teams would probably not have access to this until an event. It would probably be pretty hard to replicate it in a build space, and if you did, there would probably be a number of significant difference.

We've done this a number of times with NXT robots or smaller and slower robots playing soccer or other games. It is still a pretty difficult challenge, and you really want robots wear consistent markers that the camera can view -- robots with hats.

If you believe that one mounted camera and one week is all you need, you may want to investigate where your team can mount cameras. What did the rules say last year?
