I answered the intake in a previous post, so I'm guessing you mean the arms.

Each jaw is powered by a CIM. The belts at the back along the A frame each go to a gear box. We put the motors down low for weight/COG concerns. We put another reduction up higher on the A frame. We put control loops on the jaws.

We will post some pictures at some point. Since we'll be a competition, we likely won't be able to until after this weekend. The plan is to have all pictures public by the end of the season.
Yeah, I meant the entire shooter assembly rotation. Thank you for answering my questions, and best of luck this season!
