Go to Post We didn't need a championship to recognize the kids on our [little league] team and we sure didn't need one to inspire them. If you want to go to the championships then work harder, don't try and lessen the value of the championships by letting everyone in. - FarmerJohn [more]

Anyone thinking about using a raspberry pi with a webcam for visibility in the pit?

I'm thinking that it would be pretty easy to to. What do you guys think? I've heard of people using a kinect but that seems pretty expensive.

Visibility in the pit?

Keep in mind that no wifi networks are allowed, so any solution would be hardwired.

Re: Anyone thinking about using a raspberry pi with a webcam for visibility in the pi

By visibility in the pit, do you mean in the driverstation/castle?

If that is what you meant, why not just use an axis camera and stream it directly to the dashboard? Or use the usb ports on the roborio to stream the Webcam for that matter?

Re: Anyone thinking about using a raspberry pi with a webcam for visibility in the pi

We ran a GoPro in our pit last year to create a day-long stop motion video. It was pretty awesome. No RPi needed.

Surely you're asking if you can use an RPi to do image processing on your robot so that you can output postprocessed image to your Driver Station. If so, the answer is yes -- we did this last year (created a web server on a BeagleBone actually) and viewed our postprocessed game piece tracking images on our DS with a web browser connected to the unique IP address of the BeagleBone.
