OpenCV has stereo camera functions in it. They even have GPU support.
One can very easily recreate the fancy ZED camera with 2 $10 dollar webcams. If you want 1080p, then you'll have to spend more, but there is no reason you need 1080p for FRC. 480p is plenty.

At the time wasn't aware of that but even so, the zed does come in a nice easy to mount package, is pre-calibrated, high res, high fps, and comes with examples and support. For some that may not be worth it but we felt it was.
It's just a matter of getting it to work properly. I'm sure even with 2 regular cameras, using stereo vision is still going to bog it down majorily anyway
Because it's a fun challenge. Kind of like Sudoku, but with lexan and evil geniuses. - nathanww [more]
