(ps, which vision tetra did you pick up?)
I believe we did it about 4-5 times. We thought it was a fluke, but that night at the hotel when I was looking over the code I saw the error. The next day our arm on our camera mount broke, so they added a new one. But I had the camera positions calibrated to the old arm, so it didn't work then. By the time I figured everything out we only had one match left. That match we picked up the tetra (it was positioned directly in front of the center goal) but when we went to raise our arm the tetra got snagged on the goal. I think if we had a few more matches (we got eliminated in the semis) we would've done it.
