+ To make these kinds of color sensing applications easier (we're talking to you, Rubik's cube solvers!), we added the [[wiki:v2:video_api|getRGB()]] function to the video program.  We won't be giving any TED talks on this feature, but we hope it's useful. :)
+Note, [[wiki:v2:pixymon_overview|PixyMon]] displays the x, y mouse location in image coordinates in the lower right corner of the main window to help determine the coordinates to request from getRGB().
