True! This could detect angle from a fixed position (probably the ball launcher).

Perhaps if you want a true X-Y detection system of the range of a half court, you could place an ultrasonic sensor on a servo to perform a sweeping motion. Allow the sensor to perform a full scan before doing calculations and launching the ball.. which could take 2 ~ 3 seconds, which should be acceptable
