Our team (604) used LabView this past year, and we were fairly successful at getting our turret to lock in on our target. We had a potentiometer on the turret, so the camera took a frame, figured out how many degrees right/left to turn, and we used the potentiometer to servo to the position.
We also can shoot in autonomous mode (

However, we do not have any comparison to how fast other robots' turrets center on their target, etc., so I don't know how "successful" we actually were, compared to others.
Here is another video of a test chassis tracking the target with LabView to compare with other teams' speeds. Note that it was only a couple hours of work, so the tuning could have been better.
