Yes, there is a more accurate way than guessing. It goes something like this:
1. Move the robot 8 feet from the center goal
2. Fire the shooter and change the angle until the ball goes in, through the center.
3. Note the camera's angle (what number does it report?) and the shooter angle (what number does it report?
4. Repeat for 9 feet, 10 feet, 11 feet, and so on.
5. Write software such that, if camera angle is "X", set shooter angle to "Y".
All done
Feel free to start and end at whatever distances you like - 8 feet is an example.
Also feel free to see if there is a difference when you are X feet away, but not directly in front of the goal, instead being off to the side.
This method is known as the Empirical method.
(If the 'bot isn't ready for this just yet, make up some values just for now and get it to work, you can plug in the real values later)
Good luck, too bad about the team not making it to NJ, that would've been cool.
