This may clear that up a bit, we hold the shooter with wheels in the front, and a axel in the back, we rotate the turret with a lead-screw.

What will be interesting is that our team *may* be participating in our school pep rally on friday, which may or may not involve trying to shoot balls into one of the hoops in the gym...
