Re: First and Only

In our experience at the Central Florida Regionals, the calibration numbers (at least for green) were frantically incorrect. They were giving us a 35 for the UCF arena when we had been running a 34 in our deserted warehouse with floodlights. Our camera couldn't see a tetra stuck right in its face.

We guessed at 40 and saw a glimmer. At 45, we were able to discern tetras.

I really don't think they know how to get good calibration and it is *way* too sensitive to minor changes in lighting. My best suggestion is to experiment.

The only way have been able to deal with it is to ship the critical tracking data out the dashboard port via the 6 user bytes, catch them with a custom program, and graphically display the rectangles via Windows.

Good luck to you!

PS. So, did you actually cap a vision tetra in a non-practice match today?
