This morning i wrote a program to track the green recycle bin(s).
code: https://github.com/faust1706/Recycle-Bin-Tracker
It loads in this image: http://imgur.com/F5lo6Je

Let me know if you have any questions
It looks like a good start but try using a picture of the bin in your lab from the camera you plan to place on the robot. My team has been somewhat successful using a cascade classifier for the bins.
I don’t have access to the game piece for a few days, so this was the best I could do
Nice work. We’ll definitely be checking this out.
