Re: CMUcam test rules...

One of the inputs to our design team working on the shooter is how realiable the targeting system can be. There is no need for them to try and get distance of the 40+ range if we can't target there. Realistically we're not likely to shoot anywhere near that but, and if we could it would require a great deal of investigation and effort over say a 20 foot shooter. We wanted to determine if they could grant us that type of system, could we really use it. From our testing it doesn't seem likely we could use it so our shooting distance will likely be shorter...
