Re: Autonomous Target Tracking at Regionals

Exactly right.

You need the camera once. So to avoid all the problems we've seen and have experienced, we get close, stop, and take one snapshot of where we are vs. the light.

It doesn't lend itself to any fancy turning / driving. We just turn once and then we drive straight ahead. But we do it often enough that we are pretty happy.
