WGRAY is an unknown quantity at this point
Camera pan/tilt kit

Does anyone have directions for putting this together? Maybe I overlooked them.

Remember to isolate the camera from the robot chassis!

Re: Camera pan/tilt kit

Components and assembly prints are the only things in this document currently. There are no directions on how to assemble it. You will have to figure it out based on the last picture in this document. This is current as of 01/05/09 at 07:08 PST.

Re: Camera pan/tilt kit

I'm starting to lean a bit more towards what 1114 has done in previous years and fix-mount the camera to the chassis. Pan and tilt assemblies seem to be alot of extra code for limited benefit. This year, with the low traction i could maybe see panning, but tilting is simply not necessary. The vision targets are a fixed distance off the ground.

They targets have always been a fixed distance off the ground. This is the first year they moving targets.

tilting could be very useful as you get closer to the object, and it runs just out of what would be the vertical viewplane on a fixed camera.

Re: Camera pan/tilt kit

Well, that depends on several factors, including viewing angle (where you put it on your robot vertically within your 60" box), and how big the camera's FOV is.

Seriously? The difference is that a moving target might not be there anymore when your projectile arrives. You can't necessarily aim at where you see it and have any confidence of making the shot.

Re: Camera pan/tilt kit

Has anyone else had any trouble mounting the camera itself to the back plate? We figured out what the camera is supposed to be connected to but can't find any way of mounting it.

Edit: We think we might be supposed to use the bolt on the back of the camera to mount it. Can anyone confirm this?

AND,
where can we purchase a spare one from. I'm sure other teams are trying to build two or more bots.
