Re: pic: 1726 in practice

The camera tracking and making long shots looks great when it works, but we tried to get the camera adjusted in LA and the lighting was just a bit too challenging, so we went with manual control, at short range, with the downward pointing shooter. We didn't quite get the hang of it in LA and lost in the semis, but in Phoenix we started out with it shooting down and it worked great, we lost only one match. Mind you, there was a bit more competition in LA, with several "power dumpers" able to score big globs of balls in no time flat...none of the AZ teams had robots quite like 973/399/1388/207!

If you can use the camera reliably, that would be really nice to see
