Re: How many Robots at the nationals had an operational Camera Track Autonomous?

904 had camera tracking in autonomous, but chose not to use it in Atlanta, as far as I know.

They scored in autonomous twice in the Traverse City District event (week 1), but decided not to use it much after that. The problem was that the robot would drive forward, then stop and look for a target. If it found something quick, there wasn't a problem. If it didn't find anything, it was a sitting duck. They decided it was better to not get scored on, then try to get lucky and maybe score.
