Have Jd Turn Towards An Object

I have progressed in my project to the point that, if I tell JD to find the "red ball", he scans the area around him (turning his head left and right ) until he finds the "red ball". My next step is to have JD turn so that the ball is straight ahead of him (in the center grid). I am hoping not to have to reinvent the wheel if someone has done this. I have seen the servo tracking videos but they do not seem to be any help. I have some ideas, and if no one has done this yet, I will try them. I am also open to any ideas. (I have already seen the forum entry on "kicking the ball"). Any help?

DJ Sures, I tried the movement tracking and it is almost what I need, but not quite. JD moves his head to search for the object and I can't seem to get him to turn towards the object while also rotating his head back to neutral (center). I guess I'll have to roll my own. I assume you wrote the primitives for the motion tracking, any tips before I take the plunge?

Again, look into movement tracking. Not motion. The word movement is different than the word motion:). Movement tracking will control the movement panel. The camera device has info on that. Also, you can click and read what a Movement Panel is.

Disable servo tracking if movement tracking is enabled. You’d only have both enabled for a special case.

The robot program episodes I listed above explain more. Have fun!
