Surely you just ensure that the cards are in a pixel tight clamp when presented to the web cam and the cards are consistently marked, same make of deck.
If their problem was not knowing the deck designs in advance, then they have failed, I am pretty sure I can find a deck or two that is so obscure in design that their would not read it.

tat would be so much cooler, but we built the robot in 2 months on a budget of $250, getting more sponsors soon though!
