Any programming team out there feel up to the challenege?

I hope teams are remembering that there is a defensive aspect to this year's game as well. It seems everyone is ready to sit there and shoot at the goal, but that doesn't work so well when someone pushes you out of range.

i am no programmer, but i have talked to the programmers on my team, and it seems almost an impossible task to shoot while moving at a fast speed. One's camara would have to have the capability to move very fast with the cannon... but then one is sacrificing accuracy if one had to manually take the controls.
