Good luck, start on that code as soon as you can 'cause 6 weeks comes up pretty quick.

Exactly, it won't take much time to re-align the robot either. the CMUCam has quite a large viewing angle, 98% of the time, the camera will hardly need to move to re-acquire the target. The code plan I currently have in my head is to have a "shooting mode" if you will, and in this mode, any external change to the feedback sensors will call for a restart of the shooting mode. Any bump will have the cannon stop firing and wait until the camera re-tracks and configures the shooting device. The worry I have is if another robot it very tall and comes in front of the cannon while shooting, without touching our robot.
