Re: What would you like on a robot if time, money, or weight weren't a restriction?

Well I have been able to get accurate to within a few inches.
Using 2 cameras on a Lego or servo pan and basic geometry.

If FIRST were willing to put cameras on the field and retro-reflective tape on the robot bumpers this does not seem like a request that is really all that hard.

Might be handy for FIRST to have that information as well for the purpose of diagnostics.

Another way would be to weave wires into, or under the field rugs and induce a current into the grid with the robots.
This trick would work like a keyboard matrix. Then the accuracy would depend on the grid spacing.
