Camera Issues -- So close yet so far.

Well my hat is off to our world champions.. congrats. But this year in our journey i have found problems. as some of you know our team used vision, for auto. one of the few teams who actually got it working. But for some reason FIRST did not ban green from the game our anywhere around it, i think that because they did not do this they pretty much ripped our chance of making it farther in the finals in our division and maybe further in the championship. in the first match of our division finals the announcer for curie had green hair and pretty much an all green shirt on our camera was programmed to find all shades of the vision green because the lights going on and off changes but anyways my team asked him politely to move until autonomous mode was over, he did move but not far enough the camera picked him up drove forward turned to him and pretty much tried attacking him, we had so much power behind our robot that it slammed into the side and finally our manipulator flipped up over the side and snapped the steel cable for our arm then the ref wanted to give us a penalty for slamming other robots when they come after us first. i know that there is nothing that can be done but, next year if FIRST uses the camera our in the future they need to ban that certain color from around the field because it could really hurt another team our it just might get some one hurt. so please go to first and let them know something must be done not to let this happen again. though there was a lot learned by using the vision but it come to be more of a disadvantage than anything, beside the national award that we received i think that FIRST also needs to reward the more advanced robots more points for all of the hard work i don't think what is available is enough. Once again i am sorry to not use a lot of punc. i don't like for some reason using it while i am typing but thank you and great season and see you guys next year.
