PART 1: 3D Printed robot head using OpenCV

I had to create a PAGE for this POST as it was a bit long and included quite a few photo's and videos - I know that hasn't stopped me in the past, but I shall be updating the PAGE when I get a new Raspberry Pi 4....

So....what's it all about then?  Well, I have a 3D printed robot head and I have 2 web-cams inside the "eyes" and I wanted to get them hooked up to a device so that I could "see" through them and then detect objects and/or people and then react to those events.

This set me down a path of exploring a couple of different devices, the Raspberry Pi (obviously) and the Rock Pi X (not so well known).  I thought I'd give the Rock Pi X a go, seeing as it is x86 based and is, well, just a bit different to the normal response of, "well, just use a Raspberry Pi" - was that what happened in the end?.... you'll have to read and see!
