Re: Ease of Viewing Game Pieces on Field?

Last year, my team had a turreting shooter, and we used the camera to automatically aim it at the opposing trailers. When we were in range, an LED would light up on the drivers' station. The driver could then fire with a good chance of scoring. It worked great once we got the shooter to work right. I feel that the same method could easily be applied to the vision targets in this year's game.
