The shooter is mounted on a custom made turret made of 1/4 inch aluminum. In between the 2 pieces of aluminum, we cut a circular grove in both plates, and inserted small delrin balls for the turret to roll on. The lower 1/4 inch plate is held stationary to the frame. The upper 1/4 inch plate is slightly larger and is rotated by a van door motor that uses the friction of a worn down 6 inch puematic wheel to smoothly rotate the plate. To secure the 2 plates together, we used 80/20, some 1/4 inch plate, a small dead shaft, and a bearing to just put enough pressure on the plates to keep them together (four of these were placed around the turret).
The turret never broke and we won many aways for its innovative design. If you have any other questions or want anymore detailed pictures, then feel free to PM me or send me an email at
