Go to Post FRC competitions are fun, people. If you honestly need a video game system to keep you interested, you're ignoring a tremendous experience. - Mr. Pockets [more]

I'd bet anyone on here a six pack of dew, or their favorite soda of choice that there's not a snowflake's chance in hell that 11 teams can repeatably make shots on the fly. Not even half that number. I'd be very surprised if even 2-3 teams could.
Why so pessimistic? Sure, practice is critical, but the physics behind it is not difficult with the help of the KoP gyro. What are your concerns?

Nevertheless, I chose #2 because I have not had the time to test anything yet... our robot is not evern wired!

Well, the mechanical is the hardest part! Now just figure out how much to lag the target by in degrees, and offset the turret by that amount from the green light.
