Once it sensed that, depending on where we were left to right on the key, that would determine how many more degrees the turret would rotate (using a potentiometer).
Here is our promo video that shows it:

By the time we got to Worlds, our auto-aim system was working very effectively. It took us a long time in the build season to find a good enough class I laser. The laser was also visible on the backboard so if we needed to go to manual mode for some reason, the drivers could use the laser as a guide.
Please ask any questions you have.

To make it easier to find, at what point in the video is that being shown? Is it just at the 2:10ish mark for the automodes?
