Banner Sensor Problems?
So i have been thinking about it...and it would seem alot of teams are using banner sensors this year...
Now if any of you are familiar with the FLL competitions, cameras and flash photography are banned....
This is for 2 reasons...the flashes from the cameras can really really screw up the lego optical sensors and freak out a program ruining their autonomous programs progress...the second reason is the auto focusing on some cameras uses infrared to detect distance, atleast i think so if i remeber correctly, this could also pose problems to the sensors.
Has anyone thought of this?
Could we see a ban on flashes and such at competition?
In the FLL they have a certain type of light mounted a certain distance above the field to illuminate the field equaly in all parts. But from experience i know that first playing fields always vary alot as far as lighting rigs go....
What do you guys think will happen?
