Hello peoples!!

Recently, my team and I have been taking a look at the vision system that FIRST provided for us, and we found that the tracking is some what buggy, but it works. I thought about having a dead reckoning system that the camera would just take a picture while on the field for the first 48ms, then going into the controller, and grab the coordinates and match them to the picture. For example, the camera takes a picture of the field and finds a vision tetra positioned at #2, the camera would then go into the controller and then find the previously defined coordinates for tetra #2, and then use a predefined route to drive to the tetra, pick it up, then cap the tetra.

Would anyone like to lead me in to the right direction to start on this system? Thanks.
