It tracks the vision target fine if it sees it first, but sometimes it'll catch something else....i dunno how to counter/fix this... The camera even locked onto a window when there was a reflection of a bright light! (This is using the default camera driver, no changes)

Sometimes the camera doesn't have enough time to let the tracking software know that it has found the green light. Try increasing the value of SEARCH_DELAY_DEFAULT by one or two. This can be found in tracking.h.
