I disagree. You don't build a solution around shooting in 5 seconds by learning that you can aim in 2 seconds and then sleeping the other 3. You just shoot as fast as possible and as accurately as possible. It's hard to predict what these levels will be until you try it.

We built vision this year around NI vision and vision assistant. Vision assistant (and grip as well) are great places to start because you can visualize processing steps. The disadvantage of NI vision is its lack of documentation. We had issues with overlays, scaling, and undocumented error codes that we still haven't figured out.

OpenCV may be a bit more complicated, but it's got a large community around it that can help you if you encounter problems.

Good luck developing vision!
