Well stated and my personal hat goes off to their efforts. I know we tackled the camera last year and *almost* had it working, but using reflected light from non-controlled sources introduced just plain TOO MANY variables. The emitted green light this year will hopefully eliminate those vagaries.
Our only concern at this point is the light warm-up period. I'm sure hoping they have the lights on *BEFORE* autonomous begins. Our camera takes 17 seconds to "see the light" from a cold start. After warming up for a bunch of minutes, it will still recognize it nearly instantaneously after a 40 second off period.
If the lights are not kept on most of the time, I suspect that the initial autonomous action will be entertaining for the audience and disappointing to the programmers!
