It may just be our lighting, but we have trouble acquiring the target in the far zone. We will be able to just acquire the ball and kick, but without aiming.

I played with the targeting VI's, and was able to improve it a bit, but the target score just gets too low.

I also don't think we could keep full pressure for 5 kicks in 15 seconds. We need at least 60psi to retract the kicker, and they'd all need to be full power.
