Re: What Did you use for Vision Tracking?
Team 107 was using the NI Vision software and IP or USB camera. The vision software was located on the driver station. This has limits for bandwidth from the field but running smaller pictures and some compression we were able to push these limits.
They also had a on board Kangaroo computer running NI Vision and using the network tables to communicates. Doing this will allow for faster video processing in the future if we write our own camera drivers or see what is out there. It also allows for bigger pictures so we get more resolution and accuracy. Doing this would also allow for a second camera to be used going through the driver station so the drivers could see where they were going without taking up targeting bandwidth.
Both solutions were capable of running 30fps so for weight reason they went with the desktop version of the software. It is fun to play with the kangaroo and a target.

I also like how the FTC folks are able to get involved with the FRC process this year, but it's always a bit of a let down when you're told you can't launch things into the air. - s_forbes [more]
