Turrets can be used to rotate a mechanism without having to move the whole chassis.

Some tricks for the bearing stack setup:

  • Use more stacks than you think we shoot for only a couple inches between each stack. Seems excessive but it runs much smoother

  • Anodize the plate if possible, helps keep everything running smoother.

  • Run an odd number of stacks, this (in theory) will reduce how well toleranced everything will need to be to run smooth

We love running a 20dp gear because we can get a 2stage reduction on turret with minimal effort and the backlash is extremely low. 25chain is the next best option.
