Robot Idea

When first saw 254's Barrage in this video http://www.team254.com/frc2014-reveal/ my first reaction was holy smokes that is really really impressive. My next thought was that this looked very similar to the type of shooters used in the 2012 game "Rebound Rumble". What I was thinking was modifying 254's desigin silightly so a turret like the one featured on 118's 2012 robot (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1qWiIx_SzIE). This would allow 360 degree shooting and the ability of angle adjustment. This could make a 3 ball auto scoring all three in the hot goal possible because of the quick re aiming of the shooter. With a good vision processing program for assisted aiming this could be very interesting and will probably be pursued by my team. What do you guys think? I will probably start CAD soon ish.
