They are challenging for the wrong reasons. The difficult thing about the CMU cam has been done for you, recognizing color blobs and tracking them. Algorithmically speaking, homing in on an object given one's current orientation to it isn't terribly difficult. The reason you didn't see every other team capping in auto was because they had tons and tons of issues, and there was little point incentive to spend a lot of time, very little of which would have been real computer-science algorithmic thinking, on implementing a system.
I hope we don't see the CMU cam again, but it looks to be inevitable.
