What if we want to use the camera to track orbit balls?

I believe that the most obvious (and intended) use for the AXIS camera is tracking trailers. They do have bright pink and green posts, after all.

But, what if we want to track the orbit balls? You may say "well, go right ahead," but each team only got one ball in the KOP. We may not be able to get more of them, and we are not sure of colors those around us got.

This really would only be useful in autonomous of course, but with all those balls flying into the crater and the inevitable large number of missed ones, I was thinking it may be more productive to use the same manipulator in autonomous that the team was planning on using for teleop to pick up the balls.

Thoughts?
