What? Read the other posts.

This year we used a Nvidia Jetson with a webcam that was part of our autonomous to record video, although it only did about 10fps on average. Go for it, and post some footage for us.

Here's a video from our last match at GKC Regional using our GoPro. We lost this match, but I'm so proud of this robot and it's exciting to watch the climb go well every time: [x]
