We are 9 for 10 from the feeder station and can drive anywhere an shoot and score for the 3 pt, also we track the pyramid and it gives us distance. 2 more days!

We haven't actually used ours on the robot yet, but I have done extensive field testing with it. Obviously we get target location and distance and we have the math worked out for pitch, roll, and yaw. We only use pitch and yaw, though. (Roll probably isn't the best way to describe the third angle we calculate..."field angle" may be better haha). It can also track targets that are blocked by up to 50%, which is handy.
