FRC488 Camera Assisted Scoring

A brief demonstration of Team XBot's first tests of a camera-assisted scoring function for the 2011 FIRST Robotics Competition, Logomotion.

Using gearbox encoders and gyro on the drive, along with the Axis camera, it is possible to make the robot acquire and navigate to a row of scoring pegs almost entirely automatically.

The driver simply holds one button while providing the desired direction of movement using the joystick. The robot does the rest. The operator remains responsible for selecting the scoring height and releasing the game pieces appropriately.
