That's OK, I don't mind questions
The system is capable of recognizing and tracking multiple objects of up to 8 different colors under varying lighting and specularity. Distance depends on height; mounted close to the floor like that it could see the ball a good 20 feet away.
I was trying to get it in use for this year's game, but the autonomous period is so
short this year!

That problem was CMUCam specific; this is not the CMUCam, so the problem isn't there.
However, I did notice that last year, as I had to order a replacement camera. I realized it
after the regional, of course!
If anyone has any more questions, feel free to ask away!
