Not sure what you mean about "the camera didnt work". Several teams in Boston got their cameras to somewhat work (if only they would have turned off all the LED banners!! ugh!). When the rack was properly rotated, we had our camera working, just never had quite enough time testing to get it working perfectly.

To be honest, Im not sure why more teams didnt just try dead reckoning autonomous... with a consistant autonomous, even if you dont make it on all the time, there isnt much to loose... you get closer to the rack and closer to keeping your opponents from your side of the field.
