Last year we had the same experiences with the reflective tape. Worked like a charm in my basement, worked okay in the shop and the practice field, hardly worked at all on the FRC field. Also I didn't reference the tape until I was within 4 ft, and it was only to center on the X axis. I was so excited to see how easy it was to get it working at the beginning of last season, only to be disappointed by the actual results.
This year I believe both depth and rgb can play together well. Do a red or blue filter based on team color. Then intersect with the depth image. I believe you will be able to see the red and blue squares very well using this strategy.
