Re: target detection drops off with distance

At our practice field, the target was not under a light and half of the lights are on there. The robot could see it close up, be when we moved farther away it could not. We moved the target under a light so the fluorescents shined on it and the robot could see the it. And in some other instances, the target can get washed out. Last year there were a few events in which camera tracking was impossible due to lights shining on the field or not enough light.
