Team 3142: Kinect Tracking System Preview

Just a sneak peak at the dashboard of our Kinect targeting software. We're using the Kinect on the robot to auto-track the backboard targets; the software automatically picks the highest target in its field of view and tracks it, sending information to the cRio which moves the shooter turret to line up. In testing thus far the turret has been able to line things up to within 1-3 pixels, which is equivalent to a maximum inaccuracy of about .21 degrees, but it is usually less. Also note the distance readout at the top left corner (10.6 feet) which is also sent to the cRio. In practice this reading is DEAD-ON... which we are very pleased about. I'm hoping that the mechanical aspects of our robot can keep up with our software... we have a long 24 hours ahead of us to finish the bot.
