Re: Shooter Aiming Methods
I'm thinking of putting vision processing into the operator's brain and combine the best of automatic and manual aiming. Instead of having the computer struggle to identify a target 50' away with different lighting, I want to have the operator look at the camera feed and click the center of the goal. Then, the computer uses that to figure out how much the robot needs to turn and how high to aim the shooter to hit the goal. The output from this will be fed to PID controllers for robot and shooter angles. When the robot has slewed to position and the shooter has spun up to speed, the operator fires a disc and makes corrections if it misses. Then, the operator rapidly fires their remaining 3 discs.
