Camera Distance

We are a 2nd year team who are questioning vision tracking.

We want to use our camera to track the top scoring target at all times (when the system is engaged at least). But since we are planning on shooting from outside of the key we are worried about how far away we can track. Our launching system can hurdle the ball there without a doubt. But how far away can we get before the camera won't track accurately.

If some other team who is tracking from that far away do some testing if you have a chance and let us know.

FYI, we're shooting from about 24 feet
