Your experience may differ, but from what I've experienced the frame rate is a much larger limiting factor than the calibration and color recognition in terms of real-time tracking. This may vary from regional to regional (say if you weren't able to lock on at all in the very... unique... lighting at Boston), but even teams who are able to lock on haven't had a whole lot of success using camera-guided scoring outside of particular scenarios and autonomous (particularly once other robots sit still towards the end of auto).
