Remember that many teams may not have access to the same resources (education/mentors) that you have.

I for one find the wpi samples a nice starting point, and certainly not a "solution". The code pretty much works "Out of Box", but getting them working well with your actual code base is not a menial task (especially if you're using robot builder).
Thanks for this explaination. I see a lot of teams say "we are using the sample vision code" and then they leave it at that. I'm very pleased to be proved wrong on this, given how I just completely finished vision yesterday and this is my third year doing opencv.
