This year you have no choice but to use it for autonomous, there is nothing else you can do in auto (other than D), unlike last year with dumping.

I'll believe that we'll have an effective use of the camera when i see it...they've said for the last 3 years that they've made an effective out-of-the-box camera setup, and each year it's a pain. Adding the difficulty of the arena geometry algorithm you have to do in order to properly estimate where the pole is in-system, i'm not holding my breath.
