What they are trying to say is that the VISION TARGET dictates which goal is HOT during AUTO and may be easier to track than the lights which surround the goal:
"HOT: the condition of a goal during AUTO, as determined by the FMS, in which it is worth more than a non-HOT GOAL. The state of a HOT GOAL is identified with yellow perimeter lighting
and via the corresponding VISION TARGET."
"VISION TARGET: a retro-reflective object, made of 3M 8830 Silver Marking Film, that may be used by ROBOTS to sense FIELD elements."
From the manual, section 2.2.4:
"The dynamic VISION TARGET is actuated to show the retro-reflective material when its corresponding HIGH and LOW GOAL are HOT. It will rotate to hide the retro-reflective material (pointing it upwards) when its corresponding HIGH and LOW GOAL are not HOT."
