Autonomous: CMUCam or dead reckoning?

As far as I can see, the CMUCam doesn't have any real depth perception, so programming it seems like a waste when you still have to put in you're forward commands. Since the tetras are always in a couple positions, wouldn't it make more sense to have a few variable autonomous modes on switches, using the Hall-Effect sensors to guide? It seems you would need to limit the CMUCam anyway in order to avoid collisions with teammates going for the same tetra.
