Comparing Image Recognition With Fischertechnik

Hallo

I wonder whether there is someone with first-hand expirience with both EZ and Fischertechnik ROBO TXT image recognition. Can you compare these two, their quality and width of options? I know there are other differences between those kits (like EZ can connect way more motors), but I would like to focus just on image recognition.

Thanks.

Apologies in advance, but there is little comparison between ez-robot, making it a strange question to answer - so my response has added a little humor to the end:D. The single color detection camera that the mentioned product uses has barely 1/10th of the ezrobot vision recognition features. The two products are at very opposite ends of the feature set list.

On a more serious note... If you're considering a focus on vision recognition, I would recommend coupling RoboRealm with ezrobot. However, I recommend starting with ezrobot to get your feet wet. You can download the software for free immediately.

What hammer would you use?:D

A toy...

Perhaps I asked the wrong way. My bad. So one more try. Is there, please, anyone with FIRST-HAND expirience with both kits and without apparent bias? Also, I would appreciate if answers are to the point and free of marketing.

Anyway thank you DJ for pointing me to RoboRealm, I will take a look at it, though it seems to be too advanced for me now.

libor, that wasn't marketing - it was kidding:)

I would recommend comparing the list of features to the two kits. Again, it won't be easy to compare because Fischertechnik is a toy and does not contain any visual recognition capabilities.

Get the list of features of Fischertechnik that are promoted on the website. Compare them against the list of features promoted on the selected ez-robot product.

I doubt anyone on ez-robot's website would use the Fischertechnik product because it doesn't do very much. I would consider Lego Mindstorms a viable comparison to Fischertechnik.
