Rookie team here... learning all to put this together ... appreciate your help..
The gearbox will be difficult to back drive if it's at a high enough ratio. That probably won't be enough to keep it from wobbling completely. In order to do that I think you'll need to use a brake mechanism. Another solution could be to employ a hard stop for your shooter at an angle that you know works from a certain spot on the floor. This hard stop will help reduce wobble. An additional solution (which could be employed in combination with either of the others) would be to stall your motors in a way that holds your shooter at a desirable angle. This won't prevent wobble, but it should help.
