Its been a long time I have posted, nothing got accomplished for my fully autonomous robot idea, just whole bunch of notes and drawing in a notebook. My ideas involve heavy use of trig functions (due to the fact that I took trig in the summer, it inspired me). Now trig functions do take lots of power considering the fact that I might be using at least a dozen of them every cycle, while processing images (mass blob detection), and the locomotion and all that good stuff. Since there is no direct way to monitor memory and processor usage on the crio (or am I just unaware) how can I find out how much it is using? Am I good to go with the Math functions or do I have to make a "Trig chart" or have a onboard processor helping the crio?
If you want to know what I am doing:
I am thinking of using 2 60fps cameras as a stereo vision system and its not very complex on paper either. I think it is the perfect system to use

Does that look legit to you guys? Seem pretty "shady" as in Made In China status, do you really think its 60FPS? its pretty cheap though
To me, every robot is a moving mechanical art form, a sculpture made of aluminum, motors and gears, and I think that soon we will be seeing those art forms involved in some of the most fantastic robotic "dances" that any of us have ever seen - DougHogg [more]
