Our current camera kinda sucks. It fell asleep after 30 min during competition. Find a camera that will work for our competition that has enough zoom or resolution to clearly see the odlc zone. Higher resolution would mean we would have to take less photos and be over the zone for less time, but the cameras are usually much more expensive. Higher zoom would mean we would have to fly over the location multiple more times, but generally cost a bit less. We have also talked about gimbal vs. non gimbal cams, so look into both.
Go ahead and start looking on the ardupilot documentation.
Solution
Find a few options for cameras, document their stats, and determine how our procedure to find all odlcs would change.
