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.
Its encouraging that you had better results. I'd heard from other sources that the range was quite far. I think the the color calibration values may not have been spot on for the cathode target when I was testing. Anyways, ignore my comments earlier in this thread, apparently the tracking range is not an issue.
