Tracking the hotzones and the targets will be pretty easy. There is plenty of documentation on tracking reflective tape and yellow leds.

Next, we are going to track a friendly robot, calculate their velocity, and then lead them in a pass so they will intercept the ball and they dont have to do anything but keep moving at their velocity.

Lastly, we are hoping for autonomous catching, but that is pushed back on our to do list because of the complexity and because a driver can do it fairly easily.
Thats going to be some good challenges for their programming team
