With such an occurrence, will the tracking slow anything else down? It's not running the whole match.

Justin - this is the same approach we are taking to limit the "interference" of the image processing with the operation of the rest of the robot systems. We are running a very fast processing loop for all our code to enhance our control system capabilities, so we broke the processing into 2 steps to reduce the required image processing time to remain within our allotted loop time. It seems to be working for us so far but we have not done extensive testing as yet. Hope for both of us that this is a viable implementation strategy. Based on the comments here it seems very plausible.
