First off, I would like to commend team 66 for their fantastic autonomous mode. In my eyes, they had the best vision seeking auto mode in the nation. Wait, let me correct that.... best vision seeking auto mode in the world.

What I do not understand is why some people are blaming team 66 for this incident. Why is it their fault that the camera locked onto the button of a person on the sidelines??? Had FIRST kept their lighting the same from regional to reagional, day to day, even hour to hour, then team 66 would not have had to program it so that the camera picked up all shades of green. Had the lighting been consistant, I am confident that this never would have happened, and I believe that they would have CAPPED THE CENTER GOAL ON A REGULAR BASIS. Thats how good they were.

66- I feel your pain, and all I can say is that things just arent fair sometimes. You guys did a fantastic job this year, and I'm glad that I was able to see your autonomous mode cap a goal in actual competition.
