Re: Reliability of Pixy Camera?

We did change the lens from the stock one (75 degree horizontal field of view) to I think 51 degrees field of view.
To add to that: 230 had one of the top scoring robots in the Carver division and was the first pick during alliance selections. Talking to them in the pits, I was surprised that such a simple targeting system could work so well. OP, you should bug them for details, as it can clearly be used reliably!
