Re: Autonomous Target Tracking at Regionals

check your focus, check your autonomous switches, check everything.
a problem that we encountered was EMI that was interfering with the camera and causing it to cycle out until it completely lost the target. perhaps your robot may be experiencing this?

We have actually had some very successful auto modes this competition... after we got away from the silly mechanical errors we were fine.

EDIT: actually, come to think of it, the light gains that we perfected last year have served us very well... we went through about 3 hours just adjusting the color gains and the ranges until they were just right... i guess we just got lucky that it worked all around.
