Re: What does your camera do?

Ours didn't do much at GLR, but started pulling it's own at West Michigan.
It finds range to the target, and adjusts flywheel speeds accordingly. The camera doesn't actually move left and right, it moves the turret in the direction it wants to see. So, if we're generally pointed at the goal, the turret is always ready and aimed.

We also made a pair of HUD safety glasses with an LED on each side. The left LED indicates a solid target lock and the right LED indicates that the flywheels are at the correct speed for the distance to the target.
