We have a new camera and a spare. We focussed both. We also have a full size field at home and the routines worked fine there so we are pretty comfortable that it's not a camera optics or allignment problem.

Also, we do get right up in the face of the rack (closer than in the pits even) and still not lock indication.

I'm really looking for information from anyone who has actually GOT target lock during Rack 'n Roll "competiton".... any special trick you discovered.
