We have made it a point to calibrate the light sensor at any table we run the robot on.  Calibration program is very small and doesn't take much space.  This will compensate for different light settings you run the robot under.

Also check the lighting. We are using the light sensor and I am a little
worried that the fluorescent lights at the competition will affect the
sensor. Our robot was performing poorly and my husband noted that the
lights were dimmed in the room and we had always had them turned all
the way up when we programmed the robot.
