Re: Poll: Turrets for Rebound Rumble

On our turret, the belt was cut to the right length, and the ends screwed into the plywood disc. There's no need for much rotation, so we didn't make it so it could rotate much.

We are planning to use the turret for computer controlled aiming with the camera, so the drive just parks the robot so it's facing the goal, and the robot does the turret turning to "fine tune" the aim right at the basket. The idea is to make it easier on the driver, not more difficult.

I'm not in charge of wiring, but I'll suggest that to the electronics team. For now they just grabbed some old limit switches and wire to get it working.
