Re: pic: Team Rush 27 - Shooter Concept

pictures of the turret have already surfaced.......so yes it spins.

it spins as much as we want it to, though i doubt it would ever travel more than 180 degrees. this turret is for precision movement....it mimicks the camera gimble.

as for wires, i can't say. we've managed to build a turret for the last 5 years....wires have never been a "go," "no go," item.......they will most likely run around the back of the device and be placed inside some slick looking wire loom. leave plenty of slack...and bam!, your wired.

i'll let the electric knobs work on that.

Its seems to be made to turn. You can see a globe motor mounted upside down to the left. I think they were just to lazy to actually make the sprocket and at the moment there is just a solid ring.
not too lazy......

there is no sprocket involved. see either picture already posted. it is a 129 tooth, 12DP, 20 degree PA spur gear.

that is hard to draw! not to mention frivolous. keep in mind the title of the pic..."concept." this implies that you aren't seeing a completed drawing.
