Re: Camera Placement

Putting the camera on a rotating turret sounds like a good idea, but any sort of lag time in either receiving the image or processing it will make it hard to implement a good aiming strategy. If the camera is on a relatively stationary platform you can use it to determine the desired turret direction, then use simple position feedback like a potentiometer to aim the turret quickly.
