Re: Rotation Systems

As Joel said above were were quite unsuccessful in our methods of creating a turret but i did see one quite interesting method at championships this year.

I forget what team it was or even if they were on newton with us but what i do remember is that they were a row or two behind us near the wall, and that they used sprockets layed out flat to function as gears. It consisted of one very large sprocket on which the actual gun was mounted which was then driven by two around 12 tooth sprockets mounted 60* from each other. ill try to figure out who it was and get a pic but if anyone else knows that would be great.
