Rookie Team Prgramming [autonomous]

Hello everyone,

As a Rookie Team this year our team has alot to accomplish and we are recieving little help when it comes to the programming. So to keep this short and sweet ill explain our situation.

Currently we are using a set of autonomous modes that we can switch between via switches that will hopefully be mounted on the robot if the rules permit it. we have seperate VIs to control the Acceleromoter inputs and Camera Tracking. I have coded a few things [ie, acceleromoter controlled tracktion control and bump control] but i havent gotten any data yet as i have not been able to test the acceleromoter as of now. plus this being the first year ive been exposed tro labview i havent quite gotten the hang of it.

what i need to know is as follows:
-is there a way to use camera code to track not only colors but objects [ie other robots and barriers] and use that code so we can avoid those obejects

-is using the acceleromoter as traction control a good idea? its seems iffy to me.

-if the above is true, how?

thanks in advance!
