Re: Shooter Aiming Methods

Using the pyramid as an alignment device and protection from interference by the opposing alliance seems like a great aiming method. Just back into the 30" horizontal bar and have the robot square up and you are in a known, consistent position relative to the target. And with the targets being so wide, the one degree of freedom this alignment method affords (translation short-ways across the field) also happens to be the largest dimension for the target. If a robot can score reliably from this position as well as one other defense will be rather difficult and aiming is REALLY easy from one of those positions.
