Truth be told, we only spent ~20 working hours on anything related to the vision tetras. We were about an hour's work on the practice field away from integrating our vision tetra programming when we realized that our old auton (knock down hanging tetra and cap near-side middle goal, then run towards autoloader) wasn't working, so we had to scrap that hour of work on the practice field on Thursday in favor of trying to fix that other autonomous mode. Thanks to the rampant rumors about our exploration and fantasy success with the vision tetras at Nationals this year, I've got a feeling that if we're going to do something super cool like that in 2006 that we won't be sharing it until it's done in competition for the first time.

Heh, sorry. Thats just what I heard. But hey, the fact that you even got around to getting a vision system even coming close to working puts you among a select few! I mean we really never even came close, and I know many a team didnt even attempt it.
