Instead, this situation needs to be examined carefully to really determine the root cause of your problem or else when FIRST does somehow manage to provide perfect lighting next year and precise calibration values your robot will still drive into a wall.

We are VERY certain that some of the provided numbers didn't work. #1. We didn't use some of the provided numbers. We experimented around. #2. If we did use the provided numbers, and they didn't work, the robot would halt in the middle of autonomous, signifying that it didn't recognize or find the color. Sure, it didn't go where we wanted it to sometimes, but our team was testing that camera pretty much after every match, at every regional, and at nationals. There was no assuming as far as I'm concerned.

Did you change any of the numbers in the code other than the exposure values?

No.
