Dan, why are you so scared of turrents, they worked fine for 1902 in 2009 hehe.

Yes very similar design indeed!

I believe at the upper levels of competition turrets will be very successful. However, there are a few complex systems that have to work perfectly to make a turret design successful i.e. drive train, bridge balance, intake, delivery and shooter. Once a design and prototype is developed and those systems are perfected then and only then would I personally start on a turret.. which would probably be in 2013.

But hey, that's just like... My opinion man..
