Re: Turrets and cameras

We didn't use a Camera this year so I have no first hand experience with it's success or failure but I do know that someone published some Camera Threshold Values in the pits on Friday morning they were displayed next to the inspection station. Also, at about 7pm Thursday once all of the practice matches were over teams were let onto the Field for about 10 minutes each to test out Camera Settings. This is just what they did at Jersey, I don't know what'll happen at your Regional(s).

My suggestion to any teams who need to tune Cameras is to ask the FTA or someone else in power on the Field if there's any time when you could go out on the field to gather values. I've found that usually if you ask politely they'll try their best to help you out.
