    • Drive forward enough to be in ‘possession’ of ball
    • Use sensor to check if ball is in possession
    • Camera to line up with goal
    • Use kicking mechanism to kick in ball
    • Back away from goal
    • Move as close to the center line as possible
      • Turn around to be ready to go over bump
        • Block own goal?
          • Camera to find ball??
  • Variable Delay for every action

• Middle Zone
  • Be lined up directly with ball at start of match

More Organized Ideas

Near Zone • Move up to ball x inches • Angle ball to goal x degrees using camera • Use kicker mechanism to kick ball in goal using x amount of force • Rotate x degrees away from goal to center line • Move back to center line x inches

Middle Zone • Move up to ball x inches • Use camera to angle aim x degrees to near zone • Use kicker mechanism to kick ball using x amount of force • Back up x inches • Turn to line up directly in front of ball • Rotate x degrees using camera so kicker mechanism can face ball • Repeat first three steps with other ball

Far Zone • Move up to ball x inches • Use camera to angle aim x degrees to mid zone or near zone • Use kicker mechanism to kick ball using x amount of force • Turn to next ball x inches • Rotate x degrees to line up in front of ball • Use kicker mechanism to kick ball using x amount of force • Repeat this process with the third ball
