Re: How does your auto-aim work?

We have no turret, and thus we didn't need servos. The camera is bolted (pop-riveted, whatever) right next to the shooter. The chassis driver holds the two top buttons down and the code takes over, aiming the robot by adjusting the drive motors in a PI loop. When the robot is ligned up a LED on the OI tells driver 2 that he can fire without missing. The LED actually turns on whenever it is aimed correctly, even if it's not being centered. It provides a nice way to tell if the robot is going to score a 3-pointer or poof someone in the head.
