I am currently trying to code for the new cameras we received this year. However, the KISS 4.0.5 doesn't seem to identify the track_x command. Is there a new line of code that replaced/does the same thing as track_x?

Yes...according to the new code for the camera demonstrated at the workshop I am pretty sure that track_x has been replaced with get_object_center(channel, blob).x , which will return the x coordinate of the center of that object. (this is of course assuming that you are looking for the center of an object)

Thank you very much. Due to other commitments, my group wasn't available for the second day of the workshop. This will definitely assist with programming the robots. Again, thank you.

I think all the workshop slides are on the Home Base. They're an excellent resource for the new Link-specific stuff which hasn't yet made it into the KISS-IDE documentation.
