Are You Using A Camera To Align Their Shooter?

Cool. One of GRIP's often overlooked use cases is actually a prototyping tool. For people who'd rather write their own OpenCV code for efficiency/portability/educational purposes, GRIP is still useful to lay out an algorithm and experiment with parameters.



1 - Or just send a single camera stream. If you're using SmartDashboard, you can publish the video from GRIP locally to the dashboard and use the GRIP SmartDashboard extension. Otherwise, I guess you could have the GRIP GUI open for drivers to look at.

2-4 are valid points, and running GRIP on a cheap coprocessor like a Kangaroo PC (or, like some teams have managed to do, Raspberry Pi) helps a lot.

I was actually playing with adding some stuff myself.


Update from AZ - GRIP seems to be running fine on our machine. Post event I'll see if I can get our vision kids to post a bit more detail.
