Camera never finds target, stays at "Searching..."

Mike,
Our team used LabVIEW to come up with the correct calibration values just like you did. Similarly, when we went to use the bells and whistles code on the robot (the EduRC actually) it seemed to lose track of what we had told it. The key is that the camera code by default puts the camera BACK into RGB even if you did your calibration values. This isn't a simple switch in camera.h, turns out it's actually a bit in the COMA register (the bit ID escapes me at the moment but it is documented).
Once we figured that out, we had our EduRC bot with the bells and whistles code following our GLOD* with no more issues, based on the 'highly calibrated' Labview values.
