That part is really tricky. What I did in my calc (which does not do drag!) was to have it iterate the angle until the calculated path went through the target basket. I did this using Excel's goalseek function. Then you make a table of different ranges to shoot from, and graph it. Add a trendline to generate an approximate formula for that velocity (I used Order 3 polynomial to get a high R^2 value). That simplified formula is what you would integrate with your robot code if you wanted to automate the angle.
