We tested the camera with Kevin Watson's camera code last night. I was astonished to find that we could track the vision target from approximately 55 feet away. In fact it was so far that we didn't have a tape measure long enough and we had to go through several connected rooms to get to that distance. We were not able to test the maximum distance because we ran out of room. We even tested different lighting situations and it had no effect on the camera's performace. We were really floored last night and I have to hand it to FIRST Engineering because this is simply awesome.
