Has anyone made a case for a limelight that can be articulated by a servo or something similar? planned on trying to 3d print one. I’m looking for the easy way out lol.
We had the idea to rather than have multiple cameras, just have the one that will aim up or down. Up for shooter aiming and down simply to see the power cells you’re collecting if you’re on the other side of the field.

Why not just use a second camera (plugged into the limelight or into the roboRIO) for watching the balls? Seems like a lot less work than having to actuate the camera. And it’s a lot less likely to interfere with your vision tracking in case the servo doesn’t actuate to the same exact position every time.

fewer camera feeds on the driver stations. less bandwith used makes for faster and higher quality video feed. also weight is always a thing. as well as mounting space in this case
We are planning on doing a limelight and a chameleon vision and I think you can set it up to only send one at a time, even while LL aligns, you can feed just the low cam to ds.
we are aware of our alternatives, were just looking for a cad that we can use to 3d print a case to rotate the limelight. im working on one myself but looking to see if someone else has already done it
If you want, I could throw one together real quick in an hour or so.
