Idea to improve shooting precision

[An3Dev]

Add a mechanism that stops the ball at a specific point along the intake path. Then we could bind a button that will trigger the robot to shoot. It will spin the intake and shooter motors at a specific speed. The ball will be shot the exact same way every time, so this should theoretically make shooting much more precise and consistent.

We will need to add a sensor(ultrasonic sensor, color sensor, or camera) that will tell the code when the ball is in the right spot. When this is true, the code will automatically stop the intake motors.

All of the sensors you listed are pretty complex, and the logic / code to use them for a task like this would be way over-engineered I think (object detection, vision motion sensing, etc.). I'd recommend taking a more simple route based on the logic you outlined above....maybe something like a limit switch would be a good choice here? Maybe even add some extra padding / lever to the limit switch arm to make it easier for the ball to trigger it when in the right position.

Yeah, you're right. I like the limit switch idea.
