The DS feed updates at a frame rate that we can drive the robot through the halls of the school using only the camera to navigate. No noticeable lag.

The ellipse finding works well enough that our PID control loops can maintain a robot heading directly pointed at the target - even when moving tangentially to it.

By exceptionally well, it really means that we're able to do all the things we want our robot to be able to do - except that we cannot afford the time to reset the exposure and white balance hold values at the beginning of every match.
