Re: CMUcam initialization time

The camera initializes very quickly, usually in a matter of seconds.

If what you are worried about is the camera "booting up" in time at the start of autonomous mode, there is a very clever reason this won't be an issue. The robot is ON before the start of a match, just the master processor is preventing it from sending any signals to the motors. However, the CMUCam is linked to the RC by serial, and is talking to it this whole time.

Essentially, the camera will initialize as soon as you flip your robot on, well before the start of the match.
