I would not say it is necessary, but to reach a high shot accuracy, camera auto aim is a must.

We tried having our driver (who is quite good) aim it himself. It took much more time, and yielded much less accurate results then using the auto aim. This could be very bot specific, but this is how it has worked out for us.

Looking forward for the reveal video guys!
