we use them for two separate operations

a) autodocking to the goal, point the back of the robot at a goal and push a button, your locked on in no time flat (I don't remember the actually time, but even from quite a distance it was under 10 seconds, usually somewhere around 5 sec)

b) automated arm system, the hand sees the ball, and after the hand grabs the ball the arm goes up and dumps the ball into the storage basket on the robot

It took our programmer maybe 30 min, but he's really quite good, even if we never use it, it was sure some good entertainment while we ate dinner.
