Re: Who is using a turret

We're going to use a shooter that can change the angle of elevation, but we're not installing a turret because:
A. The mechanical complexity isn't worth the gains
B. We can get the same accuracy from physically turning our robot with gyro feedback as we would get with a pivoting turret.
