To add to that: 230 had one of the top scoring robots in the Carver division and was the first pick during alliance selections. Talking to them in the pits, I was surprised that such a simple targeting system could work so well. OP, you should bug them for details, as it can clearly be used reliably!

FIRST describes this program as students working "side by side" with professional mentors. We describe our team as working "shoulder to shoulder." Maximum learning happens with maximum interaction between students and mentors, whenever and wherever that may be. - jspatz1 [more]
