Re: pic: Retro-reflective rope detection - GRIP

I am not an inspector, but I would have a hard time considering a rope with "retroreflective filaments" to be a rope. When I think of light bulb filaments (or any other filament), it may be thread-like/fiber-like, but it is still a metal. https://frc-qa.firstinspires.org/qa/...ery=reflective

All that said, I'm still not all that convinced the vision is that much more useful with lining up on the rear rope than just a normal camera without vision. You should still have a pretty good angle for the driver for the rear davits if your not in station 2. And if you're in station 2, you should have priority for the davit directly in front of you.
