1. by kickup wheel, do you mean a bridge tipper? or something else?

2. you say the turret uses a GT sensor yet I see a multiturn pot on the turret gearbox... redundant sensors?

3. Have there been any issues with the mount location of the Main Breaker? it looks like it could be in danger of getting hit by a stray ball (which could in theory shut down the bot).

Otherwise, I like the design. I look forward to seeing it at BMR.
By kickup wheel we mean a set of wheels to control ball flow into the shooter. When we want to shoot, the kickup wheel throws a ball into the shooter, which then shoots the ball.

The gear tooth sensor is on a sprocket attached to the wheel shaft of the shooter. It has nothing to do with turreting, just with knowing shooter RPM.
