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.
how consistent is your kicker?
our robot has been landing shots continuously from all zones, without a camera in autonomous mode...
as long as it had a "drive perfecly straight" code using some encoders on the wheels, it usually kicks straight as an arrow...
