The LabVIEW off the CD does not have it (probably to keep the people compiling the CD from getting a hint about the game early). You have to download the update here: http://joule.ni.com/nidu/cds/view/p/lang/en/id/1534

I think that, because the targets are stationary rather than moving like last year, there is definitely an opportunity to score in autonomous using the camera to track. Long range shooting was impossible last year because of the moving targets and the unpredictable floor, but this year I can see it make a comeback (although it might have been nice to see a point increase for a long range goal... sort of like a 3-pointer in basketball. Oh well...)
