Re: How do you aim your shooter?
We have a custom turntable driven by sprocket, chain, and globe motor. It rides on steel and teflon balls. It has about 160 degrees of rotation. On top of the turntable is a tilt mechanism actuated by the van door motor and driven by sprocket and chain. It can go from 0 to 45 degrees.

Of course, all this is just theoretical. We have not even started building it yet.
