It seemed like you were shooting at much less than 12 m/s. You weren't making shots from distances which (just from experince) seem like they would be easy to make from.

Do you have tilt control as well?
How many balls can you store?
Can you shoot on the move?

Great job team 237!

The view from behind the goal is our bot in the first starting position. During our autonomous we will drive forward to make sure it's easier to score. I believe when we tested it, we were shooting at around 20mph.

No tilt control. This was originally the idea, but we found that there is an awfully large deadzone (10-15 feet) where we can get the ball in. As someone mentioned, KISS.

I believe we can store just around 10 balls (little more, 11-12?)

With a few regional camera code changes, I believe we will be able to shoot from a moderate speed.
