Re: Hoop backboard effecting vision tracking?

I used inexpensive acrylic, Plexiglass brand I think, from the hardware store. In the same section, they had small pieces of diamond plate aluminum. For under $20, I was able to replicate a small piece of the field backboard.

To answer your original question, the example code given was developed to be a bit more immune to the glare and things that will show through the backboard. Simplified processing may indeed fail more often once the background goes transparent.
