This Forum is Dedicated For all The Object Oriented PIC Lovers .......... The concept behind OOPic is straight forward. Use preprogrammed multitasking Objects from a library of highly optimized Objects to do all the work of interacting with the hardware. Then write small scripts in Basic, C, or Java syntax styles to control the Objects. During operation, the Objects run continuously and simultaneously in the background while the scripts run in the foreground telling the objects what to do.

I have ordered the NTSC wireless camera for my first approximation.
There is a tutorial re: adding vision to a Lego NXT at the RoboRealm
site that discusses the camera, receiver and RGB->USB converter.
We'll see how it works out.

About 4 years ago I started to work on an R/C Hummer that I wanted to
have chase an orange soccer ball around the yard. I was never able to
get the CMUCam working well enough with local processing. I think the
wireless link for the camera and a BlueTooth link for the onboard CPU
(ATMega128?) should work out fine.

The parts should be here in a week or so.

On the high price end of things, the approach used by Surveyor is
terrific. There is a Blackfin on board (500 MHz) to handle the camera
interface and a Lantronix serial->Ethernet gadget to send the data
back to the host. RoboRealm can run on top of all this and control
the 'bot. But it's close to $500 for the 'bot and that's put it on
back burner until I learn a lot more about using computer vision.
