Re: so about that hint...
Here is what I think it is.
It receives a signal from the field element(s) that the robot is approaching. That signal can be one of 4 possibilities. Based on what the code the field element is sending, the robot responds. This can be during Autonomous or tele operated mode. Teams that choose not to use it will still be able to score by manually having the robot respond to the field element, where teams that choose to use it can continue to use it during tele mode, or choose to manually respond.
Think about the 2006 "Aim High" and 2007 "Rack 'n Roll". During Autonomous, the camera was vital to consistent scoring. During tele mode it was optional, but still an advantage, primarily in "Aim High".
Again, this is just what I think.
