After a season full of using GoPros on our robot, on our driver station, and to film a ‘mockumentary’ of our team’s trip to St. Louis, a few Pi-oneers decided to use one to record Team 1676 marching in the Hillsdale N.J. (one of our school district’s four sending towns) Memorial Day Parade.
For parades, we attached a PVC structure we call the “Pirates’ Mast” to our robot cart, which either team banners or American flags hang from. We zip-tied a GoPro to the top of the PVC as seen below, and got some pretty unique and awesome footage!
*Due to the danger flying frisbees pose, we made sure that our robot only shot down the street where Pi-oneers were ready for catching. :yikes:
You can watch the video for yourself here: http://www.youtube.com/v/yDlyu-aPnpU?version=3&start=714&end=2084! (it’s linked so it skips our team waiting around to join in on the parade, and stops at the end of the parade)
