Re: Vision tracking: Did they get it right?

Is vision needed in this game?

Is the goal stationary? YES
Do you know the location of the balls prior to Auton? YES
Do you know your robot location prior to Auton? YES
Is there potential defense in auton? NO
Can a human score without camera? YES


Is vision needed in this game? NO

We are all for using the camera, when the effort is worth it. We used it in 06, because it was worth it. We will not use it this year because it is not worth it.
