This made the camera recognize the vision tetra. Basically, what I am saying is, try to keep lighting conditions at a constant, this could be why it isn't working
The light reflection is pretty good its just that camera is not looking for colour green. It suppose to spin on servo looking for colour green on the field. If you want you can radomly pick a place in the room and let your robot find the green vision tetra and as a resul it should successful find the green vision tetra if it doesn't than u have same problem as me.! I don't know how to troubleshoot this problem and so i need as much help here as possible!
