We just tested again tested tonight.

Our turret can pivot 180 degrees and fire at a resonable clip. I haven't measured, but I'd guess at least 2 per second (in the goal) if they're all loaded and we're sitting still. When we're moving around, that drops siginificantly, maybe one out of five. Still conditions will not be present on the feild though, so don't get your hopes up just because you can sink 30 shots in 10 seconds standing still. The real challenge will come in firing on the run.

I think tommorrow we're going to practice shooting with a student shoving the robot, sliding it across the floor, or rolling a theatre flat in front of it to simulate defensive strategies. That's really going to be the challenge this year...

Can't wait to get automagic aiming going...
