At mid west the best turreted shooters where 217 thunder chickens and 1114 simbotics. From what i learned from them was that they where just eyeballing the aim of their shooter. The cameras where not that reliable this year due to the sensitivity to the lighting.

My team is also a turreted shooter and we had camera calibration issues. the lighting in the pits was different than the lighting on the field. Our camera in the pits would see the target just fine but on the field it was a glowing. To correct this we put a sunglasses lense over our camera. This gave us a 75% success rate in the tracking of targets. however we only used it in autonomous because it is just too slow to use in the teleoperated period.

P.S. our bot never scored a ball in autonomous but our camera did track targets every now and then and once tried to shoot but ran out of time.
