I'm familiar with the method for calculating range, but I'm afraid that the mechanical subteam may win in the war to have a manipulator that is (or isn't) robust enough to accommodate any approach to the target except for a head on one.
While I would like it if we weren't angle sensitive, if we are, what math is necessary to figure out your approach angle to the target (eg. head on, coming in at 20*, etc.)?
Thanks in advance,
