Yes, exactly. Last year Dave dropped the hint that the CUMcam2 would be back, and I'm hoping teams have spent some time in the off-season working with the camera.

The best thing to do at this point is to spend some time thinking about what the camera will "see" from the starting area. It's important to know a few things:

1) The camera has a very wide field of view of ~60 degrees.
2) The camera will not always "see" two lights. Recent data taken on a regulation field shows that the camera will only detect a single light if it's within about +/- 25 degrees of rotation relative to the camera.
3) If two lights are detected by the camera, the camera will return a single rectangle around both lights.
4) If only one light is detected by the camera, the number of pixels reported by the camera will be small (~10).
