How to use vision targets?

Our team is going to attempt vision targeting this year. We are wondering how other teams have gotten the targets to show up reliably on a camera? Things I have seen include shining a specifically-colored light at the targets (like green), in order to make them easier to distinguish for the program. Another option, though more complicated, involves using an infrared camera and infrared lights to make the reflective tape shine in IR.

Have any teams used either of these in the past? Or has anyone had good luck without any sort of assistance to target the tape?
