A good turret that can auto aim with the camera is invaluable during the autonomous mode though. You can take a hit from a defending robot, get knocked out of whack, and still manage to get a few of the balls into the center goal. A stationary shooter that gets hit during autonomous just wastes its balls and ends up firing them into the crowd.
If you can get it to work without spending too much time, then go for it. Goodluck!
