Re: Autonomous Target Tracking at Regionals

We haven't been at a regional yet, but our gym has similar lighting to that of a regional. When we tested everything out in our robotics portable it worked like a charm from lab views values, but in the gym, during the last couple days, I spent a good 4-5 hours changing this and that, because lab view's values simply didn't give us values which were tracking from. I literately changed everything in hopes it would work.... eventually I hit the right combination of tweaks and my autonomous worked right then and there.. what I found out from the experience was that in that lighting environment, Lab view tended to to give lower values then the needed, to confirm we slowly turned off the lights one by one, and as it got dimmer the Lab view values would become closer to the needed values. We tried it on our other camera, and found the same thing happened but at a different rate... so we don't know if its labview, camera or what. hope that helps.
