Re: Ball Trajectory Planning

My team was actually planning on having a camera track the target, direct the turret to that target, use a laser rangefinder to determine distance, and have the turret adjust velocity and angle to adjust for that range. So, yes, some teams were planning on being able to shoot from anywhere.

We want to be able to get balls in the vicinity of the hoops from our player station, across the field, and were planning on a 70fps+ muzzle velocity. does that seem fast enough to range 55'?
