Air resistance at these velocities can be effectively considered to be zero. Spin stabilization of projectiles is done to decrease the effect of orthogonal forces like wind. I would just stick with the projectile motion equations, which should work just fine at these velocities and distances.
BTW, I've seen a 'bot that can use the camera to position itself and fire ball after ball into the target, so I know that teams can do it if they put the effort into it.
