In theory, yes I believe it could be done, however I would be concerned that a
1x2 filter would be so thick as to distort the image drastically... better to
take a sheet of transparency material and print a red, green and blue spot and
attach it possibly to a wheel/pulley (sorry I'm at work and not in full Lego
mode) the 6 holed variety and rotate it with a rotation sensor to lock in the
correct positioning.... ?

I had an article on how to due color scanning with a BW hand scanner that was
a multipass using filters... I think rotating the filters in and having the
exact lens positioning would work much better.

Ok, maybe I'm just out in left field on this one, or maybe someone will
actually be inspired to try it out... How about making a color digital • camera?

Proposal: modify the existing design for the camera by adding on a colored
filter, and an extra motor. Bascially, create a wheel at the end of the lens
which had trans-red, trans-green, and trans-blue pieces. For each pixel that
the camera takes, cycle the filter for R, G, & B values. You'd have to tweak
the results a lot, but could it be done?

Ok, so it's uncouth to reply to my own messages, but more on the color
blending:

-each filter could be 2 1x2 trans bricks-- the red filter would be green &
blue, green would be red & blue, blue would be red & green
-you'd also have a 4th filter (a hole) for a baseline gamma value. Hence, you
could determine how much additional gamma you'd need to add for weighting the
filtered values. So if you got an RGB of 10,30,20 (all out of 100, not 255) • and
a gamma of 80 (out of 100), you could bump up the RGB to something like
20,40,30 (well, ok, you'd have to figure out the percentages, but that's just
for example)

I tried this a little when I first made my robot using the red bat wings that come with the set, and I couldn't get a good image through one of them. One of the big problems is that the sensor is mostly infrared, with some red sensitivity. I haven't (...) (24 years ago, 28-Sep-00, to lugnet.robotics)
