Stablized shooter & Claculating distance by vision

Hi everybody,
I'd be glad to know which algorithm / method did you use for:

1. Stablize the shooter (for speciefic rpm). Did you use encoder and a PID closed loop? If so, which specific argument/s in the PID did you use. Otherwise, what other mehod did you used to stablized the shooter???

2. Find your distance from the vision target. Did you use a table of measurments, or a formula?? If you used a formula I'll be glad if you would explain it and tell me if it worked with precision.

[We - 4590 - have written our code in C++, and used the RoboRealm for the vision processing.]
