Overhead Camera Rig
- I built mine (see pic) for $20 out of home depot supplies.
- I followed this guide:
- The key to building it correctly is that the camera from supply #1 needs to be able to see the whole battlefield when hanging. So it needs to be pretty tall. I measured mine needed to hang at 48". Test before cutting!
Supply
Three
Transponders
- Identifying each model AND their loadouts is very difficult. We need a good way to communicate with the models on the field. For this we use "transponders"
- Transponders are literally just pieces of paper that the camera is taught to recognize in addition to the models.
- The current transponders the engine is taught to recognize can be downloaded here. Print Out One Sheet and cut them out..
