Detecting Trailer Orientation

[Kahn!]

I have a small concern, among a lot of camera success this season. How do teams expect to detect whether the trailer they have found using the pink and green blocks is in front of them or if there is a robot between themselves and that trailer? Since the color target begins at the 60 inch mark that the robot is restricted at, I can't think of any (obvious) way of detecting that.

So?

Our plan is probably humans. It doesn't look like we will be attempting to score in auto so our second pilot should be able to decide whether shooting is a good idea or not. They will also be able to override the auto-target and direct the turret (anticipated use is switching targets).
