Joint Practices: Some observations

[Tom Line]

In my experience, vision tracking is something that 80% of the teams try, and 79.9% of the teams fail at. I've seen teams that had vision tracking working extremely well (won 2 districts) go to worlds and have everything fall apart when the bright LED's around the arena make their system near unworkable.

I've also watched many, many teams have a great vision system on their practice field and then really struggle at the event.

In 2012, most of the accurate shooters were not using vision systems. I expect the same thing to happen this year when teams get to competition and find they can't tune their system in well enough to make it work.

Maybe I'll be proven wrong - but we'll spend more time practicing with no vision system than we do with the vision system working.
