* Move the robot close, far, angled, and around the field to ensure no extra targets are found anywhere when looking for a target.
* Go to a practice match to ensure everything is working correctly.

* After field calibration, use the "Export Settings" button in the "Settings" page to create a backup.
* Do this for each coprocessor on your robot that runs PhotonVision, and name your exports with meaningful names.
* This will contain camera information/calibration, pipeline information, network settings, etc.
* In the event of software/hardware failures (IE lost SD Card, broken device), you can then use the "Import Settings" button and select "All Settings" to restore your settings.
* This effectively works as a snapshot of your PhotonVision data that can be restored at any point.

* Before every match, check the ethernet connection going into your coprocessor and that it is seated fully.
* Ensure that exposure is as low as possible and that you don't have the dashboard up when you don't need it to reduce bandwidth.
* Stream at as low of a resolution as possible while still detecting targets to stay within bandwidth limits.
