Re: Rotation Systems

Similar problems with a window motor mount, though our shooter was supported by a single axle at the top and bottom, so we just ran wires along the sides up to it. It was never intended to turn more than 120 degrees.

It was too wobbly for a while, but we eventually fixed the problem towards the end of our regional by using a spring to keep it from shaking.

The spring slipped during shipping and caused problems of turning too fast one direction like we had experienced the first time we tried a spring, so we took it off again because we haven't gotten it to work right a 2nd time.
