To WEKS87:

Quite possibly, yes.

To baman12:

A motion sensor would tell me "Yes there's motion," or "No there isn't motion," while an optical sensor, i.e. the webcam, allows the software to determine where exactly the motion is.

To reignmack:

It's FAR easier to program target-finding when you've got a stationary background. It'd be a billion times harder, and probably less effective knowing my skill-level to use a moving camera, though a larger field of view is definitely something worth working toward. An array of multiple cameras would most likely be easier and faster to process.

To h252000:

It's actually programmed to slightly overshoot, since there is a bit of a delay between a 12-15 fps camera, Java detecting a target, and then moving the servos (that are carrying a lot of weight for hobby servos).

[jtkthx]

Interfacing with the webcam was code I found on the web, and the code for talking to the servo controller was supplied by the manufacturer. I wrote the code that finds and decides on a target, and the simple logic of trigger-pulling etc.
