Re: How many Robots at the nationals had an operational Camera Track Autonomous?
We worked all year on our vision system, and it worked pretty well. We did not use it during auto. We had a piezo buzzer attached to our operator's gamepad, which would sound whenever we were relatively close to a trailer we could score on, during Teleop. We also had a button on our pad that, if held, would automatically dump balls, if I had driven into a correct trailer and was locked on to it.

At nationals, it worked about 80% of the time, when it was sunny out.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
