Camera calibration improvements

Create(3d print?) a cradle for consistent camera servo calibration.
Potentially implement automatic tilt/rotation compensation (generate transformation matrix based on location and angle of calibration mark).

Resiliency

The Flockbots currently are extremely vulnerable to sensor noise (everything from the wheel encoders' resolution to the camera angle) and need more robust systems when localizing and maneuvering

Pathfinding

The Bug series of pathing algorithms are being implemented, but more advanced algorithms are possible with the hardware

Hardware modifications

The V3 Flockbots use a Raspberry Pi 2 (five years old and two generations behind at time of writing), as their primary behavior controller, as they fail these should be upgraded to more modern Pi models.\\ May be worth looking into additional sensors (e.g. IMU) for more robust measurements.
Nubotics is defunct and the wheelwatchers aren't being made anymore, look into replacement systems. The hardware has been open sourced (https://github.com/plskeggs/nubotics-wheelwatcher), but may not be cost-effective to produce in small batches).
