Question about lighting conditions in the FIRST competition

Will it be dark during the autonomous mode, or will it be very bright?
I am asking this so I can know if my camera gets the green color even if there is bright light around.

So how can the camera filter unnecessary light? I'm using the easyC pro default table, will it work with that?
I have done some checking with the camera, and made a function in easyc pro that searches a green light and when it finds it, it stops and writes: Target found.
But some problems occurred: if there was some kind of reflection of the green light it stopped. Sometimes it stopped when it saw a florescent light. Sometime it stopped when it saw a bit more sunlight than in another place.
So, what do you recommend me to do?

Re: Question about lighting conditions in the FIRST competition

You said to do the following: (Qoute):
I also ran into this problem. To fix it (without filters, anyway), write a value of 2 to the saturation control register (register 3), I.E. send a "CR 3 2" to the camera. (end qoute).
How do I do that? (I'm programing in easyC pro).

Re: Question about lighting conditions in the FIRST competition

Indeed, how do you input this in? We tried this through the Java GUI from two years ago, and by changing the parameters through Labview, but it seems to have no noticeable result. The fluourescent lights are bright pink, but so is our target.

Could you provide instructions as to how to input "CR 3 2"?
