This makes the software teams job this year extremely important and fun!

You're thinking exactly the same thing I am. This year, programing your robot will be extremely important as well as the use of the CMU Cam. Your robot will more or less run its own "autonomous mode" to score in the center goal becuase it will be eatremely hard to line it up and stay lined up with all of the pushing and shoving I suspect will be occuring in the matches. Without an automatic aim, it is unlikely that you will have an easy time scoring into the center goal. However, I'm sure that some teams will be able to do it, just not as well as anyone else who tries to manually score.
