There will definitely be frisbee necklaces, on not only our human player but also the other human players on the alliance as well. Our human player has a lot of practice with helping our driver align the robot and if there weren't other robots on the field I bet they could get the accuracy to nearly 100% without auto-aim.

Our inaccuracy stems from getting hit by one of the other 5 robots on the field after we line up but before we shoot. There used to be a 3-second delay between when our driver hit the "shoot" button and the catapult was released. We switched out a window motor for a CIM though and now there's less than a 1/4 second delay between button press and ball launch.
THIS should be what allows us to get to 100% accuracy.
