FRC STEAMWORKS turret

grabcad

This is a turret I designed to learn CADing. It's heavily influenced by FRC team 118 The Robonauts' designs. However, it has some problems: Using a polycarbonate plate to cover the 775 pros and deflect balls to the flywheel isn't very effective. A better approach would be adding a roller at that spot. Some screws are missing because I messed up my part library organization. Lastly, having an inertia wheel is not a bad concept, but using a small, thick one like this example isn't efficient since the first moment of inertia is directly proportional to mass times the square of the radius.
