Unfortuantly, all my good sample code is at home and I'm going to be leaving for the Portland regional after work. When I get home on Sunday I will try to post a few samples of what you can do with this library.

OpenCV is the standard choice for most hobby robotics projects. OpenCV requires knowledge of C or C++. If you want more links on OpenCV, I can give a few of the CV functions I use commonly to find blobs. If you don't know C, and you have time to post process the image, I would suggest using Matlab's image processing toolbox (it works well with webcams). If you have a IEEE 1394 compliant camera(not a webcam), then the Labview vision toolbox would also be useful for realtime and post-processing.
