Vision

We use cameras on our robot for 2 main things:

  • Displaying the feed to the driver, so they can see what’s going on/
  • Analyzing data from the feed using code.

AprilTags

AprilTags are visual tags placed throughout the field at predefined locations that are easily recognizable by our robot.

AprilTags are similar to QR codes in that they can be recognized by a camera, but instead of leading to a website they instead have an ID (1, 2, 3, etc) that can be decoded by the camera.
