I think the % of teams being really successful with the camera is (in 2007) pretty low - maybe 5 or 10 %, but here are some tips that helped our team:
1. Read the instructions.
2. Understand that the Java program configures the camera differently than Kevin Watson's example MicroChip code.
3. Take pictures of lots of stuff and understand what the camera really sees in various lighting conditions.
4. Make sure your target is in the linear range of the camera (i.e. not saturating).
5. Don't assume that the "numbers" they give you at a competition will work for you. Their camera configuration might be different than yours.

We were able to hang a few rings in Rack and Roll following that advice, unfortunately half the times we did things like crash into someone on the way there.
