Re: Use of Flashlight as Aiming Aid

Well, two of the world championship teams last year used a flashlight to aim at the baskets. 744 uses a camera feed to the driver station and with paint we created a .jpeg that just has a box the same shape as the vision target. Overlay this image at the "sweet spot" and you'll be golden. The decision for us happened because we wanted the option to auto aim in autonomous if we ever incorporated a floor pick-up (plus we used this last year), but either method is about as effective.
