If you use a turret, don't be afraid to beef it up. Team 45 found that out in 04. Our turret was poorly "beefed" in our arm turret for the 2X balls. Last year, we took what we learned from 04 and made a very beefy looking turret that had almost no breaks during the year. Don't let big beefy gears look intimidating, remember, WEIGHT REDUCTION, thats what we did on ours last year. A pic of the 2005 turret can be found
here. Right now I don't have a pic of the 04 turret. I will try to get one up sometime.
