Have you tested them for placing the gear? We are having issues with vision targets messing with the IR readings.

We haven't tried yet. Weather is killing us. We have only met 2 days a week for what is going to be 3 weeks now. (We usually only meet 4 days a week)

Well good luck with the weather, and might want to have a plan B in your pocket.
