Vision Target Assembly

[platt]

Did anyone build the vision target assembly according to specs, and if so where did you get parts/part #s?

The pieces required to build it are included in this year's kit of parts, in the National Instruments box (if I am not mistaken).

The HDPE, and the green Cold Cathode Light kits were supplied, but the housing was not. From the FRC_Vision_Target_Sheets posted on the 2006 FRC Documentation page, it lists the housing as being a Hammond Aluminum Enclosure, 8"x16"x2".

We got two of these from Mouser:

The rest of the smaller items (terminal block,etc), we found equivalent parts in our surplus drawers.

Hope that helps

we used 2x2 wood and made a frame, screwed the HDPE to it and glued the cathode tubes to the HDPE. Simple and cheap.
