How to change angle of shooter?

What if, each alliance has a pile of AndyMark equipment in front of them. They then have 2:00 minutes to assemble said equipment, and build a working robot that will race to the other side and grab the other alliance's flag. - Pjohn1959 [more]

Re: How to change angle of shooter?

We are planning to use an igus lead screw (picture above) attached to a strong motor to move the front end of the shooter up and down. We are still debating whether we should have two of these mechanisms (one on each side), or just one.

Another idea is to use pneumatics, but the disadvantage of that is there are only 2 positions: all the way up, and all the way down.
