Re: Poll: do you have a turret

We don't have turret. That was decided about day two. Why have the complexity of a turret when the whole robot can act like a turret. We have full 360 degrees of freedom and we don't have to worry about limit switches, tangled wires or complex programming.
From 20+ feet out, once our camera locks on, all you do is sit back and enjoy the show.
