I don't know where you got this from but good luck then.
We have our robot fully automated for just about everything. All you need are the equations for speed, angle, height, and distance. Once you have those the RC can control the robot fully based on where it is. In reality you dont need the camera if your robot can keep track of where it is on the field at all times (much easier to use cmucam).
But we plan on haveing 3 different modes for our shooter, fire, off, and store. Can't give details other than 270 degrees, 4 balls per second, and 2 shooting angles. Pneumatics and window motors will be used for aiming the shooter as well as the small cim motors which will provide the speed for throwing the ball, vary that and you can send the ball just about anywhere.
