Re: The use of the Kinect and Cheesy Vision in 2015 and beyond

We spent weeks integrating a camera solution for auto mod this year. We got it working on the practice field, but never had time to calibrate it on the field at champs (I wish they would let us calibrate every morning instead of Thursday only. We got it working Thursday around lunch). The idea that something as simple as open source code and a web cam would be better than the a robot running truly autonomously galls me. Please, remove the de facto hybrid mode for next year.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
