Bearings for turrets

+1 on this design. You guys did a great job with that turret.

There is some really nice explanation in this post and in the thread that follows. I particularly liked the bit about how you determined the involute for the “gear teeth” that would interface with the pegs in you driving wheel.

I really loved that design and I even bought some of the V-groove bearings for my team hoping that they would do something similar for our turret. They went with the bearing stack design for 2020, but I still have the V-groove bearings so maybe this will be something we re-design for 2021 (I doubt it, but I can hope…).
