Definitely. Top teams will likely use this. You could do a more simple method (but possibly less effective) and instead of having the code drive, just have it alert the driver when they are in the correct spot.

I can't imagine having a wonderfully repeatable 3 point shooter and then having drivers try to eyeball it from across the court.
