Re: Vision: what's state of the art in FRC?

While CV is a neat field and is definitely worth learning more about, planning to use a solution before you know the problem is probably a bad idea. Our team looks at vision as a last resort as it introduces extra points of failure to an already complicated robot.

I recommend using simple sensors to get your robot the perception it needs, then tuning your control loops/operator interface code until you run into a brick wall. If you really can't achieve the task you want without a ton of driver practice, then look in to adding a vision system to give you that last little bit of performance.
