We use it for all shooting. Its does Auto high goal 100%. It missed one because the ball bounced out of the bot crossing over but its was not the shooter obviously.



Ours is reflective targeting with cross hairs. In Auto it looks for a match threshold and then shoots. In tele, its puts a box up and the drive team aligns the cross hairs and shoots.



To make the adjustments the shooter is on a turret that does azimuth and elevation. The software makes the turret adjust to the target so the bot does not have to move. We just need to be in a general area maybe +- 3-4 feet. Of course the margin can be bigger than that but to be most accurate we keep it in that range.

Was wondering if you could pm me about your code? My programmers are having issues with vision.
