Re: OpenMV Camera
I got it a few months ago after backing on Kickstarter. I'm not terribly impressed, but I've only messed with it for a few hours.
It crashes regularly with the example projects doing something as basic as color detection. The quality is pretty poor including fps (20-ish), resolution (240x320, during my testing), color levels, rough focus depth, etc. Reflashing the firmware (not the scripts) caused the boards to become unresponsive and forced hard resets multiple times, as well.
I would much rather stick with something more developed like OpenCV on a Raspberry Pi, GRIP, etc. It might take more space and weight, but until OpenMV becomes more mature (if it does), it doesn't seem worth the time. I would rather my team focus on application than debugging issues.

The purpose of the game rules is not to imagine and categorically list everything you should not do, but to give you guidelines of FIRST's intent and leave it to your developing good judgment to know what's acceptable and what is simply skirting the rules. - Mark McLeod [more]
