Your last point concerned me. Trust me camera poles helped a ton. They are were not unnecessary at all and probably go down as the biggest game breaker of the year.

We didn't use camera polls for seeing the field. We just used dead reckoning to get through defenses such as the back side of the drawbridge. I think the polls were dangerous and heavy too. Plus many teams brought TVs to hook up to their cameras which again added stress to the shelves. Ultimately I feel they were unnecessary for our team did fine not using camera polls or cameras on our robot, but that may not be the case for other teams. This is just my opinion and I do not reflect the opinions of my team or any others.
