In terms of timing with the release, it might be possible, but your programmer may not realize how much difficulty of real-time programming has been covered up by the WPIlib and cRIO gate arrays. I would suggest working on a backup plan at the same time.
Our mentor that wi be teaching us his ee skills is fairly familiar with it all so he kinda said it's possible like your saying. The only thing is we probably will get a high speed camera if their under $2000 to time the releases. It's factoring out the release time with the angle of release (which will be a set ideal angle) that's the tricky part. And hopefully it'll get to a point where the robot can either stick with an angle or adjust using our algorithm to find it's own ideal angle based on shots to correct itself.
