Before you invest too much in this project, assume a reasonable error in the angles you are able to measure after you try to get both cameras to lock onto a single small point on the object. Additionally assume the object is not perfectly "broadside" to your two cameras. Then compute the range of distance errors that will arise as a consequence of those angular errors.
If you are thinking of using an FRC bot for the base of your triangle, and you are trying get the distances to objects that are scattered around an FRC field, You might be disappointed by the probable size of the distance errors
Or you might be perfectly happy. Just don't overlook the extreme precision required for accurate distance measurements across a reasonably wide field of view.

I'm sure there aren't a bunch of rule makers sitting in a board room discussing "What rule can we change now to mess with the teams' heads?" Lets all just sit back and enjoy the regionals! - Rick [more]
