Re: Detecting Trailer Orientation

So?
Our plan is probably humans. It doesn't look like we will be attempting to score in auto so our second pilot should be able to decide whether shooting is a good idea or not. They will also be able to override the auto-target and direct the turret (anticipated use is switching targets).
