Lead programmer of 783 here.

We were poking around with the optical sensors from last year, and discovered a rather large problem. They trigger on anything reflective.

We pointed it in the general direction of the reflective tape. It detected that, and that was all fine and dandy. We then pointed them at the diamond plating used for alliance stations, it detected it. Not such a big problem, the wall would probably be out of their range anyways. We pointed it at last years bot, and it detected. This was a large problem. There was no way to tell our alliance robot from our targets on the bottom of the boxes.

So, we decided to switch to a dead reckoning program, and that hasnt given us too much of a problem, except for a slight miscalculation on my part that left a rather large hole in our drywall wall. Oops. The price of knowledge I guess.
