Even though NI released code that tracks the tape, color, and logo, I still feel the only vision guide is the tape. Again, this is my interpretation of the rules. I could be way off. I made the mistake of tracking the tape last year. I'm pretty sure we were the only team to do that. But we had a cool triangulation code that me and a friend are trying to get published, so it wasn't for nothing. Moral of this story: my judgment is not good.
