I guess I forgot to talk about that. Our main strategy is driving to the outpost during autonomous, then launching the 4 empty cells to our corners so that the super cells are ready to go.

As far as aiming, we have the camera tracking the trailers if needed, but rely on human control mostly. I think we are trying to measure distance with the camera as well, so it's possible that we will have the camera do all of the calculations and have a human firing. But right now, a controller for the catapult does everything as far as aim, distance, and shooting.
