As far as i know they were going to mount the camera directly to the cannon, so where the camera focuses is where the cannon shoots. Kind of simplifies the whole system. Right Now they are still working on perfecting the camera's focusing on the green. The idea is that, like with the camera mount they gave us, it will pan for the green, but through the other motors controlling the pitch of the turret and the horizontal angle. They are going to use the window motors to turn the turret and change the pitch. they said that this way they wouldnt need constant feedback from the motors as to where they are as they would just be following the green at all times. I could be wrong. Don't quote me, I'm a lower mechanical mentor. Hopefully it will work. Sounded good to me.
