I don't have too much experience working with the CMUcam and my team hasn't been able to get the thing to work for the past 3 years, so someone correct me if I'm wrong. If one of these lights shines into a camera won't it basically wash everything else out and therefore cause the camera to loose a lock on a target?
This brings up an interesting point as well. Instead of messing up the vision system, next year it may open up a whole new can of worms and the robots have to work together in autonomous to complete a certain task and the robots find their partners by the lights and then communicate using IR or something.
