# This example attempts to track a "bright" object (such as a white business card)
# It uses reflectance to identify the target and compute the X/Y coordinates
# of its "center of mass" in the sensors view.

# really useful as a method to reject data.
# Configure your distance and brightness thresholds to suit your object
