Re: Shooting Mechanism

The turret itself is not part of the shooting mechanism, nor is a hopper. The flywheel/barrel and feeding mechanism are the only parts that impart force on the ball - therefore I think you would be fine.

If at any time the mechanism is used to eject balls from the robot, then it will be considered a "shooter" and must be in full compliance with Rule <S03> and Rule <S02>.
The way I read that, a rotating turret does not eject balls from the robot, but whatever is on top of it that does must remain in your original footprint.
