Re: Use of Flashlight as Aiming Aid

An interesting case of light-based aim assistance came from team 188 last year. They had three class I lasers in a line above their shooter, with the outer two pointed inwards ever so slightly. They ran their shooter wheel at a constant speed, and would project the lasers into the center of the backboard. When the three beams would overlap, they would be at the perfect distance to take their shot (middle of the key). This proved to be a very consistent and easy to use system for their drive team.
