Yup, that's what I was thinking. Just need to see if the rules allow it. On many cameras it's as simple as removing a filter. I've done it to a pair of webcams in the past and it worked great.

And that's what scares me. My experience with getting robots to "see" things has been poor consistently. I'm really unsure if it's worth even the effort. Did any team get vision targets working well?
