Yes, it was used when pinning someone at the trailer hitch. The varying speeds did work with the camera, but the game ended up play faster that we thought and as a system (camera through to hardware) it wasn't fast enough to automatically track. Fortunately there are manual options for left,center, right at a contact distance (~3 ft). Did it work as well as I would have liked, no. Did it work, yes. As the balls broke, down the variation in game pieces caused problems.
