Thanks.
Mathematically, optimistically and practically feasible. As long as the sensor system and filtering done on the sensors is reliable (slight challenge, as an image analyzer sub-routine might take a while to fine-tune), and the shooter mechanism has a low standard deviation in it's behavior (read: reliable in shot taking), it's a piece of cake to code a system that can do a bit of math and calculate the shot trajectory.
