But I don't think you HAVE to auto aim for auton. As long as you're contacting the pyramid, you start out in auto right? You could just start aiming straight at the goal and fire. Granted, it's not the best, but hey, whatever works. Also, auto-aim is just sometimes too much to deal with and test. I'd be perfectly happy if we just had a sweet spot and a little camera crosshair that would guarantee that our shots would go in. My theory on auto aim is that you don't absolutely need it unless you're encontering moving targets.

Also, a rotating shooter is probably much more complicated to do for what it's worth. if you've played catalyst, or done some math, the angle of error for these shots is actually pretty high, compared to previous year's games.
