So we wanted to use the camera to track the lights at the top of the tower to line up for mini-bot deployment, but we couldn’t find the actual lights that FIRST is planning on using in the competition. We can vaguely assume they are green, but it would be nicer to have actual lights to match our code to.
Nowhere could we find the actual lights FIRST is gonna use. Anybody know where they might say?
They are green Allen-Bradley lights. They’ve used similar ones throughout the field in the past.
It might be easier to track the base of the tower instead of the top depending on where your camera is located.
mika,
Please be advised that looking for a target 10 feet up will have you pointing at the arena lighting in most cases. Prototype this first, please.
