Vision Tracking?
Hey CD, I was just wondering... how in the world does vision tracking work? my team has attempted primitive vision tracking in the 2016 season (our second year) but with no success. I am not asking for your code, which everyone seems to cling to like the one ring (however I wont turn it down), but the theory and components that make it tick. What are the best cameras, do you write code to recognize a specific pattern of pixels (which would blow my mind), or to pick up a specific voltage value that the camera uses as a quantification of the net light picked up by the camera's receiver. our team did well in 2016 with a solid shooter, I can only imagine how it would have done with some assisted aiming. Thank you all and good luck January 7th!
disclaimer: I just design and oversee final assembly, I am in no way a programmer, however our programmers will be taking a look at this

Mind you... if your ball kicker has as much energy stored up as a trackball launcher, you ought to be able to kick balls up into the stands. - dtengineering [more]
