DO NOT USE A CAMERA!
You're over-complicating the problem. Especially if you're going straight, your drivers should be able to line up the robot relatively straight. You can use line sensors to make
slight adjustments (if you're going straight; if you go Y you're going to need to take in effect the sharp turn left or right, but that isn't too difficult a problem), or use a gyro or encoders of any combination of the three. Remember, the ubertube has the biggest hole of all the tubes, and thus is the most forgiving for error.
Like Alan said, our job as programmers for autonomous is to score. As cool as it would be, don't let pride interfere with missing an opportunity to put up big points. There's always time in the offseason for playtime, now is your time to do well for your team.
