Re: Vision Targeting for Aerial Assist 2014

I doubt there will be much practical use in tracking anything but the hot zone. Anything else and you're adding unreliable gimmicks to your code. Letting the drivers practice for a few extra days at picking up and shooting is most likely much more beneficial than a ball tracking algorithm.

What I'm worried about is the brightness of the led strips around the hot zone. It seems like they will be a bit dim to track. If anyone has seen stills of teams using the reflective tape, you will see that the leds have to be blindingly bright for them to be as easy to destinguish.
