Re: Is Aim Assistant Worth It? Are You Using It?
It is tough, and if you do not have the basics in place by now, it may be difficult to get it in place in time. If you have a practice bot, then you can continue to refine it before competition. If you don't, then I would not devote any time to it.

BTW: Vision targeting is the only way you are going to reliably shoot goals in Autonomus (unless you are the spy bot).

During teleop, the easy solution is to put the camera image on the Driver Station, place a piece of clear plastic on the screen, and draw a "+" where the boulder will go. The Driver then has to position the robot so the "+" is centered in the goal.
