I would like to try a game with moving targets though, because lunacy was before my time.

You wouldn't be saying that if you played Lunacy... a lot of the time, human players scored more points than their robots did!

At regionals each year, you can usually count on one hand the number of teams that have some sort of autonomous targeting using the vision targets. Most of the teams with cameras simply have them there so the drivers can line it up on the computer screen manually. I don't think FIRST needs to go making vision tracking harder when most teams haven't successfully done it as it is!

Add to that the difficulty of hitting a target - see all the low scores we have this year - and the exponentially more difficult job of hitting a moving target with any sort of object...
