I guess I would question whether or not you have loaded and intialized the camera settings?

It's one thing to "teach" the camera the blue ball, but you've also got to record those values into the code so the software can "recall" your taught settings and intialize those values and beginning tracking the ball.

Are you getting any tracking data? Is the "red" LED on in the front of the camera when you present the ball in front of it?
