Re: FMS triggered Minibot launch?

True there may be a delay. For all those that want to implement this I would recommend you not do it because a penalty outweighs just teaching your co-pilot to press a button when a sound goes off. In the end its your call.

I just feel that triggering off the FMS signal that generates the visual indication will be the most accurate and reliable trigger.
Yes you could have the camera sense when the base of the tower changes color but it would waste your camera and it might be inaccurate
