Re: REWARD OFFERED: A CAPPED VISION TETRA ON THE CENTER FIELD GOAL

694 tried it before shipping the bot. Our main trouble was poor lighting in our test environment - we had to use red instead of yellow as goal targets, and even then we had trouble seeing what we wanted to. Between that, drive train changes and other things, the numbers we tried to drive with weren't working any more, there were quirks in our tetra-seeking and color switching methods...and not enough time to get it working straight. And there was certainly not enough time to fix it at the regionals. However, the bot would have been fast enough to do it within the 15 seconds. A fast drive train and fast arm is all you need :/ we had both. It just hapened that the bots that were fast enough to do it weren't the ones trying to use the camera.
