My team, Beach Cities Robotics, is working to do that. We scored in shooting balls in autonmous mode in 2006 and we think we can do it again with active trailer tracking. The robot will approach the nearest opposing alliance trailer and when in range, it will shoot. The camera is mounted to the shooter turret so it's azimuth is always locked on. For driver controlled mode, as in 2006, we may also have a head-up display for the co-driver so that when the robot is in range and locked on he can shoot without looking at the control board.
