Re: pic: Vex Elevating turret 2

It seems to work pretty fluidly.... reminds me of 118...

But, it looks like in the video the chain goes slack and just hangs on the rear; It seems like this could jam/get stuck on another robot.

Also, is all the complication necessary? I'm assuming this would be for a robot that grabs a goal, and needs the turret to pick and score. You guys know your stuff though, there's probably a good reason for it.

Looks good, can't wait to see the final thing.

Required question: Can you elevate while turreting? (I don't see why not, but you never know.)
