How to Power a Rotating Turret
Our moon rocks will go straight up via conveyer and be shot using spinning wheels. Our method for aiming will be using a turntable to spin a mounted plate to deflect the moonrocks to the trailer. We have considered direct drive, gears, and belts. What method of power is a good way to spin the turret?
