The AI Vision Sensor can detect Color Signatures, Color Codes, AprilTags, and AI Classifications. To successfully detect any of these things, however, the AI Vision Sensor needs to be appropriately mounted on your robot.
Building Tips & Tricks
When mounting the AI Vision Sensor on your robot, consider these tips when deciding where to mount the AI Vision Sensor to your robot:
- Position the AI Vision Sensor in an unobstructed location to ensure a clear field of view for taking snapshots.
- Focus the AI Vision Sensor's field of view (FOV) primarily on the field. Minimize visibility of external objects like classroom decorations or people.
- Mount the sensor securely. Any shifting during movement could affect the accuracy of the AI Vision Sensor's readings.
- You can use zip-ties or rubber-bands to temporarily hold the AI Vision Sensor in place while you use pieces from your kit to mount the Sensor.
After mounting the AI Vision Sensor and connecting to Web-based or App-based VEXcode, you can access the AI Vision Utility to check what your Sensor is currently seeing.
3D Build Instructions
There are two different build instructions you can follow for mounting the AI Vision Sensor to the standard EXP Clawbot.
| Mount the AI Vision Sensor to the claw. | Mount the AI Vision sensor to the arm. |
Once the AI Vision Sensor has been securely mounted to your robot and it is connected to Web-based or App-based VEXcode, you can begin coding your AI Vision Sensor in Blocks, Python, or C++.
