Re: exposure periods

Consider taking a picture, verifying target position, then translating that to some other sensor like a potentiometer to control your turret. This may also help with other problems like balls obscurring the target, or even other robots getting in the way of the target. Of course, you have to go on the assumption that you're not moving your robot, but that's a pretty fair assumption when most people shoot.
