This was my logic as well. I think that it would be best to use the two lights to find the closest representation of the center. This was much more difficult before we could see two distinct lights. However to go to a side, with the virtual window you can use it to decide which side you want to track at first, until you get close enough that the other light goes out of view.
We recently got tracking to the center working, and soon we will be working on tracking to either the left or the right side.

My idea with trying to get the angles to the two lights would be that then, you could use trigonometry to get the exact angle to the one in the middle. But I guess your solution is better - the angle to the lights is far from an exact measurement, so just an approximation should get the robot to the general area. My question is, with the rack swaying and only an imprecise measurement, can we determine where the ends of the spider legs are and how to put a tube over one? Can the camera "see" the plates on the ends of the legs if we find the right parameters?
