That's another issue we ran into....the camera is generally not stable enough for detailed calculations...of course, maybe that was just the mecanum wheels...
That's a very good question. The answer of a how to create a true "FRC GPS" is probably going to be a combination of techniques that might include camera data, inertial guidance data, floor features, range-finders, etc that all can be used to develop a "reasonable" position on the field. But someone's software team is going to have their work cut out for them, that's for sure.
