Re: Is the suggested Vision Camera setup ILLEGAL?!

Additionally, the camera would get its lock BEFORE the match starts instead of having to waste time doing it after it has already started.

Lastly, this is the method IFI is SUGGESTING in the "Start Here" document. This means most teams setting up these cameras for the first time, will be setting them up this way. It'd be errr... interesting... if this way turns out to be illegal.

wow, i have to say i didn't think of this in that way. you're absoloutly right this could really save you a lot of time during the autonomous mode. thanks a lot.
