Distance is changed based on motor speed, which has proven to be consistent enough to work during gameplay. Fortunately, with the shooter wheel spinning slower it still spits balls out at the same rate (about 4 balls per second).

EDIT: The turret is turned by another motor (a Banebots), if that's what you're referring to. It's turned by a v-belt pulley.
