I'll let you know if I get it, assuming my head doesn't go through a wall.... this has been 2 days straight of this.............

And just curious, when we hit a color, we get the error "Tracking packet failed" in the little statusbar window of the GUI, where you see the messages about the camera, is this normal? Or could this be a part of the problem, I kind of forgot to mention that...
Jeremy,

The instructions in START HERE are very specific. You must be on a dark floor resembling the field that FIRST will be using. In their example, there is no bright background. Neither should you have a bright background...
