At WPI, our first district event, it was taking us around 6-7 seconds to line up and shoot(Our robot is on the blue alliance shooting at the center goal)

At our next event, BU, it was in the 3-5 range(robot on blue alliance shooting into near goal)

At NEDCMP, our final event, with the "Differential Flaps" fully implemented, it was 1-3 seconds depending on how close our angle was before we let the robot take over. Our robot is the robot nearest to the center goal


We won Innovation in Control at BU and NEDCMP
That's ridiculously cool. It's also a great solution to getting hit while shooting if you can't seem to get a shot from a more protected location work.
