& Malia
None in particular from today, but throuhgout the season we need to determine how to use the vision tracking which may prove difficult...
Requirements for our prirotiy of semi-autonomous include
Probably
Q: Which of King Arthur's knights built the round table?
A: Sir Cumference
A little more detail on these vision targets...
- Every spot where a hatch panel is picked up or placed (ie. the loading dock, the cargo ship, the rocket) all have the exact same vision targets above the location where the hatch panel is placed.
From the DEEP SPACE MANUAL: "Vision targets are located on the ROCKETS, CARGO SHIPS, and LOADING STATIONS and highlight the locations of the HATCHES, PORTS, and HATCH PANEL retrieval locations. A vision target is a pair of 5½ in. (~14 cm) long by 2 in. (~5 cm) wide strips of 3M 8830 Scotchlite Reflective Material. Strips are angled toward each other at ~14.5 degrees and such that there’s an 8-in. (~20 cm) gap at their closest points. Vision targets on the “front” face of the ROCKET highlight the top of the lowest PORT and are 3 ft 3⅛ in. (~99 cm) above the carpet at their highest point. Vision targets on the “side” faces of the ROCKET highlight the location of the top of the lowest HATCH and are 2 ft 7½ in. (~80 cm) above the carpet at their highest point (the same height as the top of the HATCH opening). Vision targets also highlight the locations of the tops of each CARGO SHIP HATCH and the tops of each LOADING STATION HATCH (at the same height as the ROCKET HATCH targets)."
- Check the game manual for pictures (pg 31 and Figure 4-31)
- We believe that these will be critical in placing hatches reliably and quickly
