Our plan for tracking...

So i thought of doing everything on the cRio but then i thought...

1. too much data for it to process
2.harder to get numbers without a visual representation
3. I have an extra netbook

So my plan was to:

1. use software called roborealm
2. Put it on the netbook
3. put the netbook on the robot
4. Send all the data through networking directly on the robot

So i tried it and it works pretty good,

Pros of roborealm

1. Computer does all of the work
2. visual representation of the threshholding and tracking
3. easy to set up

Cons of roborealm
1.Requires a computer on the robot (we have plenty of weight to work with)
2. robot is having a hard time locking on (moving to fast we slowed it down)

So how does it work,
Using some easy modules the software provides you can easily track the 4 targets and separate the one you want to lock onto say the top target, then we can get the X coord * 255 / Image width to get a simple PWM value then on the robot we set a max PWM value for our motors and tada simple tracking done! any questions i would be happy to help.
