Well its hard ... even with a camera there is lag, in fact we sheered 6 bolts on our hex shaft holding our shooter by running into the far castle barrier that is very hard to see. Over time our driver got used to the lag and only used it for low goals.

Actual field visibility is fairly good but the glass gets smeared . I would say parking on batter got easy and as time went on LG and Scaling were easier too. We are working on HG still and will change out our camera for CVR to a lower lag model and adding another camera for HG shots changing things around.
