Actually, had I known of your problem with green around the field, I'd have suggested our solution. We anticipated this based on something we read in the rules about distractions off of the field being our problem. We angled our camera so that it was staring at the floor about 3 feet in front of the robot. At that angle, the tetras and/or goal colors were still seen at the top (bottom in the T packets) of the camera's view. The color would have had to be inside the field wall or on the floor outside for us to see it. Hair would not have been a problem (unless your announcer, like Archimedes, did a head-stand on the field).
Can you tell me your match numbers? I'd like to download SOAP 108's videos of them to see you all in action.
You can download our videos from my BitTorrent server at
http://ldeffenb.dnsalias.net:30049. Look for the ones dated for the Championships. if you prefer SOAP's videos, we were in matches 5 (which they don't have right), 24, 42, 57, 71, 80, and 89. Match 80 is the one to watch as we go head-to-head with 624 also trying for the vision cap. Their miss caused our miss. Such is life....

PPS. The Tiki Trophy thread has a posting as to what caused our failure to cap. And we aren't blaming anyone on the field for any of it.
