My question is why do you have the camera if your shooter does not turret. Does it judge distance or alignment or both? Or perhaps something else?

Also I love the 6 motor drive train...got to see what it could do at ramp riot this year and needless to say I think I will push for it next year.
need for the camera is distance and alignment... the camera has some other tricks attached to help make this easier.. our turret is our base, it gives us good enough alignment that we dont need a turret, but that alignment is entirely dependant on camera feedback.

Also the distance returned by camera determines shooter speed on a PID loop..
