To me the 1st image you showed seems like it would be easier to process, as I see much less green reflections and the green color is more consistent, it looks like it would be much kinder to the threshold step. Is there any particular reason you prefer the 2nd one?
For the camera it looks like the vision settings are only applied once when the vision start. The only difference between the two you describe above is whether or not the robot has been running for some time. Maybe the camera isn't 'ready' to start receiving commands when you first turn the robot on? I would start there, maybe you can monitor the error wire or send the error wire back to the dashboard to see if that has any hints. Maybe you need a delay before running the settings, or check if the camera is available first?
