I really doubt it. Even with the CMUcam, especially in Chesapeake, our robot was going crazy after the indoor lights instead of green target. So with the sound tracking system, things can go even worse. Especially when you have crazy FIRSTers shouting in the bleachers.

[sidenote] During Medical Automation Conference in Leesburg VA, i talked to Dean about the possibilities of Sound detection/tracking system on a robot or a wheel chair; his opinion was quite against it.[/sidenote]
