Here we will track the specific configuration and status of each unique BenchBot by location.
Image Collection
high overlap mode for generating orthomosaics
camera needs to be positioned 1.8 m above the pots during collection
For testing, and aiming for 50% side and font overlap, images should be spaced accordingly:
x-axis distance: 50-55 cm
y-axis distance: 43-45 cm
Note regarding Amiga y-axis movement: The amiga tends to move lesser than ideally expected. So the distance here should be somewhat larger than your ideal value. e.g. if you want it to move 38 you should put something like 43 or 45, it's inconsistent so you might want to measure the physical distance in order to get an idea of what value to put down finally.
Values given below are not the actual pot/row spacing on the ground, but instead represent what should be entered into the bbotv3 GUI to achieve sufficient image overlap.

The BARC site expects to add a second, identical, BenchBotv3 to their new 50ft wide pad later in 2024. This diagram reflects the clearances possible with that setup.
