Re: Shooter Aiming Methods

Decreasing the speed of the shooter will decrease the range of the frisbee. As to what it will do to the accuracy, that will require testing of a different sort. We initially used a table and a pool noodle to test shooting - different amounts of accelaration cause different ranges

Aiming at the goals will most likely be done via manual aim (the targets are large enough). Auto aim is doable, but may not be of any advantage (you're driving towards the darned thing, might as well take the time to slew the turret). Not sure about range, but then we were thinking of raising the shooter, so there's that too.
