Just as the title says, could someone give me like a list of things you can do with the camera. For example, one thing i learned was that, u could find the distance between the robot and the goal (pretty neat)
So stuff like that

Thanks for the help

There is quite a bit … but its tricky stuff!

  1. Distance to a specific goal
  2. Distance to a frisbee (see http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=112837)
  3. Location within the field (see http://www.roborealm.com/FRC2013/slide050.php)
  4. Obstacle Avoidance (if it isn’t floor, then avoid it!)

… for a couple examples.

Could also use the red,blue and white lines on the floor to align your robot perhaps prior to firing … or at least watch the floor side boundary to drive straight.
