Re: Pivoting shooter ideas
In terms of maximizing your field of fire, feeding from the bottom through a larger lazy susan than what is in the KOP -- McMaster-Carr has one for about $30 that the ball will fit right through -- is pretty much ideal. You might not get 360 degrees, but you could come close.
I think that feeding from the side really limits your ability to pivot your turret. Patrick |

Re: Pivoting shooter ideas
Is your shooter drives going to be horizontal or vertical. If they are horizontal it is easy to feed from the back, top or bottom. You could also save alot of work by turning the robot instead of the shooter.

Re: Pivoting shooter ideas
You can cut the id of the 12" Lazy Susan larger but be very careful with the sharp metal. Be careful not to get the metal shavings into the ball race.
When cutting the id, leave the ball race intact. |
