Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. "The drivers are always frustrated when they have to manually line up with the target" :). In other words, it is diffcult under time and precision pressures to line up during a real match.

Describe the solution you'd like Using the limelight, figure out an effective way to move the swerve drive to line up with the node scoring pegs / cube trays. Specifically,

May be helpful if the robot was ensured to be pressed up against the node frame prior to alignment

Describe alternatives you've considered ??

Additional context The limelight tracks retroreflective tape located on the cone pegs. You can use these to align to the target. Limelight docs are helpful source: Limelight Docs

Renamed to Vision Assisted Scoring as its a more accurate reflection of the goal. It is probably best NOT to use traditional computer vision for this task (as vision tape is being phased out for next year's game) and instead use robot odometry + AprilTags
