Pan/Tilt Assembly

[billbo911]

In 2009 we built a turret for our robot. It was made from a PVC ring and four V-Channel bearings. It worked flawlessly and still works perfectly today. We will also be modifying it to be our T-Shirt cannon robot. Here are some pictures to help out.



The ring of screws created a sprocket out of the PVC ring so the gates belt could rotate it.



Look closely at the top of this one and you can just see the final product. In this picture the turret is pointed to the right and the motor is visible behind the "C" in "Force".



I'll see if I can get some more detailed picture of the drive mechanism. BTW, we included a pot for position feedback. That allowed us to actually follow another robot and fill 'em up in Autonomous.
