After some testing with Robot Bravo I realized that it would be helpful to have some other sensors to supplement the camera based vision.  I built a new platform with two sonar and two IR sensors.  Here is video of Charlie operating with only those four sensors. The camera is not used.  Now I have a much better platform to dig deeper into vision processing for object detection, navigation, etc.
