Like Elgin said, it can be done with the programming on the CMUCam. As to what you're saying with just using hall-effect sensors... think bout this... I am a defensive robot... I run across the field and drive around trying to bump things *whoops* I hit you from the side... you now have no clue where you're at cause your wheels have slid... and your robot doesn't know where it's at. Now, there are two solutions to this... you make a positioning system using free spinning wheels and a gyro and such, or just the camera (or both if you want full control). Plus... the positions of the tetras are over a pretty broad area, in 15 seconds I'd doubt you could cover half of them even by just driving around, and thats if you don't hit anything.
It isn't what you're given that makes it awesome. It's what you do with it. - JosephC [more]
