There's often more positional slop within the tape pocket than the pin
pitch, for components more tricky than 0402s. Feeder tape squirms,
parts swivel a bit as you pick them up. Cameras are cheap.

There are mailing lists for this stuff, chaps - openpnp, firepick,
versatronics, plenty of others. All full of people finding out that,
like everything, it's trickier than you first think. See you over
there, let time nuts be time nuts?
