even if tape tracking is slow, from most line trackers I have seen (at BAE at least), it works. It only needs to get you there in 14sec. even if it takes you all autonomous mode to get there, as long as you release the ball, not many bots are programmed to track 5pt balls to collect after they fall so autonomous speed isnt that much of a factor, at least when you are going for the 10pt ball (when trying to defend the other alliances 10pt, or grabbing a goal, speed does count)
