Thoughts on this? What are other teams doing?

Thanks!

I would assume having the camera fixed to the shooter would help with aiming shots. Unless there is a significant advantage to having it point elsewhere, keep it fixed on the shooter. Drivers rarely look at the camera feed when driving. I know our driver only used it to double check that we were aligned before shooting last year.
