  • John's camera
    • POE (power by ethernet )
    • 4 data, 4 power
    • -48 volts
    • convert 3.6, 7.2
    • we need a solution for the battery
    • transmits over ethernet to a webpage
    • active x capabilty
    • John will look into the camera stuff
      • and explaining it better to us
      • video capture controller?
  • Look into other material
    • 70 lbs is our limit for the robot
  • Enter into the TI competition

    • Allocate appropriately
    • camera could take a lot of power
  • Sleep mode?? 
    • Extra do not worry about now
    • Programming
  • Processor:
    • Begal board???
    • 9s12

    • msp430 (TI)
    • more flash
    • less ram (to hold program)
  • Motor
    • Powerful motor for $$
    • H-bridge or motor controller
      • Motor controller might be better for our money
