As you get closer to trailer of the robot, the camera should change pitch. You need to know at what pitch your camera is at when you are near a trailer. When you get to that pitch, tell your robot to stop moving and unload your balls.

Good luck. IMO, its really not to difficult to code. If you can follow my steps, its quite simple. Gettin the bugs out of it and making it run smooth is another story. But you need to start somewhere.

Joe's suggestions are spot on.....with one minor suggestion on my part. DO NOT WAIT until the camera locks on to a target to move forward. A human player can practically fill your trailer in the amount of time it takes to lock on.

Joe is correct, coding it to work is the easy part. Tweaking it to work accurately and consistently is a whole different story. That will take time and practice.
