3. While the camera is sweeping back, the camera sees the target, but since it is in the middle of sweeping back to start the next scan, it loses lock on it and has to restart scanning.

Making some minor tweaks to the target tracking code fixed this for us.

It also helps to make sure the camera is calibrated correctly.

I think this solves the problem we were having today. Thanks! Oh and as far as calibration, it's best just to use the default numbers that come on kevin's code, trust me.
