Re: Vision tracking: Did they get it right?

While there is a use in autonomous, it seems as if you can place the balls where you'd want, thus allowing the use of encoders and some dead reckoning to allow a shot on target (You know your position, you know the ball's position, and you know the goal's position. It's all a matter of math and distances/timing from there). With regards to teleop....yes having a live video feed is useful, but that's not necessarily vision-tracking, rather just a camera feed. And as your goal is on your side of the field, homing in on the target is not that big of a deal in my opinion. It might be useful if you're looking to score in your opponents goal rather...
