That's what we did in 2009 with our "PPS", or Pi-Positioning System. We could added waypoints and it would calculate the angle and distance, and feed that to our bot.

Wildstang has us all beat though, because they did it back in 2003 with their StangPS. You can find an archived thread here:

It's a bit different because it's crab, but much of it is applicable to tank to, since it's all angle + distance.
