Our team wants a fire button as well, I suggested giving the shooter operator joysticks "just in case" the camera stops working or something weird. I think might put on a switch to toggle between auto fire (firing using the camera to aim) and manual fire (just giving control to the shooter operator), that way if the camera is pointed at the wrong goal or we're on defense and want to save energy by not having the turret move, we can just set it to manual.

Oh, lastly, we'd like one big Easy button right in the middle between the 2 drivers. Must light up, must be big and red.
