Awesome robot as usual.

I've been curious about your turret gear. It looks similar to 1114's from 2012, but from my guesstimates, it's 20dp @ 16.1" Pitch Diameter whereas 1114 had a much larger geartooth (something like 10-12dp). One of my main concerns is actually having our waterjet sponsor cut teeth that small (I've been contemplating turrets lately). Was it relatively easy for your sponsor to do or was there anything special you had to do to the gear design to make it easier to manufacture? I'm guessing going to 0.125" aluminum made it easier, but is that enough?
