Re: Vision tracking: Did they get it right?

We just tried it yesterday, and I agree that it works great this year.

Last year, I couldn't get it to work correctly, but this test, I tried the example code with a basic setup, and it worked right out of the box! It's quicker and more accurate than any human driver, unless the driver wants to aim with the camera (waiting for the updates) or is standing right behind the robot.

Hopefully, we'll have a good autonomous program -- if our kicker isn't accurate to score from the far zone (we'll try to be in the far zone on most matches,) then I'll aim towards the center (so I don't kick it out of the arena.)
