We trained them both ways. But not totally relying on the camera only. Definitely if they can look at the robot to get an AIM or if you have "auto aim" in tele-op is the best way to drive but to look at the camera to aim seems like it takes the driver longer to make the decision to kick verses looking at the robot and making the alignment shot.
