Re: Camera interference and <R02>

I think we will rely heavily on GP and that this will end up being a learning experience. I can guarantee that at least one robot will be mistaken for a trailer.

I think the interference we will see the most of is where a team's acceptance limits are too wide, and an off color bot will be thresholded as pink or green. In this case, it will look like the bottom color block is huge, which will imply that the trailer is really close. This will lead to premature dumping.

Therefore, I strongly suggest teams tighten up their thresholds AND make sure that the top and bottom areas are comparable.
