Why would you need to "find and lock onto your target" at match start? All distances and angles are perfectly known to you, unless you had a launcher tilt system that couldn't hold its preset angle when its drive motor was disabled.

If you had a repeatable method of setting your robot's orientation and launcher tilt angle in the starting box, I imagine your only limitation would be the time it takes to spin up your launcher to launch velocity.
