Touring Personnel

Band:

gollark: Good for them?
gollark: It's the holidays now and I don't actually have the hardware, so I'm going to research OpenCV stuff, come up with a nice way to remote-control it, and look into better motors.
gollark: Currently all it can do usefully is move slightly, the ultrasonic sensor/accelerometer thing aren't hooked up to this Pi.
gollark: One of them seems to be mismatched, so it veers horribly left.
gollark: The ultrasonic one is easy, the accelerometer/gyro was mildly annoying due to poor docs but is doing things now, getting useful stuff from the camera means complex computer vision things.
