Re: Camera Use During Main Game

My team has switches for it, but we will probably never use it. It would only really be useful for putting a ringer on the opposite side of a nearly full rack (drivers cant see). Here are the reason you will see very little automatic tube placement in tele mode:
  • The rack sways like crazy, very hard for sensors to adapt
  • When near the rack the light is not very visible
  • There is constant defense, especially on the opposite side
  • Drivers can move faster and with better approach paths

This is not like last year where a camera aimed shooter was a great asset. This year the drivers can see if they have the tube over the spiderleg much better than they could line up a shooter last year.
