Reminds of in the beginning of the season when the strategy team wanted me to use a combination of this year's camera, last year's camera, and an ultrasonic range finder to knock other teams balls out of the air

But on a more serious note, would you not also need to know where you are in relation to said projectile? And in FIRST, is knowing your exact position on the field less than trivial (esp. with non Kevin-ized accelerometer code)?

Good luck to all,
Robinson
