how to attach a carrier plate for a turret arm to the robot.
well i have been designing a new robot for fun after season. and here is what i have so far:
-mecanum drive train- completely done- places to get the parts listed.

-bionic arm controller- working on it...

-arm- carriet plate+mast+joint+extended peice+joint+another peice that can extend using a pneumatic piston+joint+ claw.

i have been working on the arm recently and having trouble with how the turret is going to work.

i would like to figure out how to mount the carrier plate onto the top of the robot with it still being able to move around freely. i know that i want to use a 72 tooth IFI mechanism sprocket. and i can attach the bearing retainer to the sprocket and put the bearing in like that.

but how would i mount the bearing so it would still spin freely but be securely mounted?



this might be something to look at...
