Theoretically, if you were to track the light under vastly different lighting conditions, or you wanted to track a different colored object, the Labview software would be great for finding new camera calibration values.

However, Kevin has already figured out an awesome set of values for tracking the green light FIRST uses in competitions. If you just use his, it will work wonderfully. Compared to how hard it was to use the camera in 2005, what Kevin has done is pretty much magic.
