I'd like to think that it's something with us, and not a fundamental flaw in the hardware or software, but we've tried just about everything you can imagine to get it to work, to no (well, little) avail.

In 2010 it could find the target and turn our robot (with the gyro) to shoot, but could not to do fast enough that a bump wouldn't screw the whole thing up -- and it caused all kinds of watchdog errors in the process.
Has anyone else had any problems like this? Is there a way to fix it? We're thinking of using tracking in 2012 if it's applicable, which it most likely will be.
