Thanks! yea, this is a single CIM powered turret at ~3600RPM. We're still controlling the speed with a joystick but we're planning on spending all of tomorrow getting it to shoot distance-wise.
EDIT: sorry, I forgot to mention that we have indeed tested distance and even with a joystick it is pretty darn controllable
