I think it will be a must as I cant see aiming and judging distance with a human from 40 feet away is gonna be to easy.
This is a source of disagreement between me and one of the mentors on my team. I completely agree with you. If we had many shots to try it would be one thing but with only three balls I feel the robot has to be able to either take the shot itself, or provide distance data accurately for a human to line the shot up. I think the only way for a human to do it without serious camera assistance is if they design the bot to shoot from set positions and just work themselves into those positions. Trying to eyeball both shot angle and power from across the court is going to be very hard.
