My team is investigating whether vision is necessary, just as my old team did in 2012. We ended up not using vision because it was easy enough to for the driver to accurately line up on the key where you can't get defended against. This year may be different.
Right now the only way I can see a good vision system overcoming rough defense is if you have a turreted shooter with a high release point, and spend days calibrating the speed and angle of shots. My guess is that the most accurate high goal scorers at events will have a "sweet spot" to shoot from, and that very few (think 1717 in 2012) will be able to shoot from a wide variety of places and thus circumvent the defensive strategy of nudging the scorer while it's trying to line up in its sweet spot.

I just think the outer works is going to be similar to tall stacks and obscure driver vision on the far end of the field. So many bots won't have the vision needed on the far end anyhow, let alone trying to lineup on a sweet spot consistently after crossing an outer work defense.
Most teams are practicing without outer works obstructing their driver vision, pretty sure we'll see lousy shooting from most teams in terms of accuracy unless the whole system is automatic.
