A first version of the turret will soon be ready to be machined. This mechanism will allow our robot’s gripper to turn 180°! Victor G is working on the turret. Last year, during the competition in Chicago, the @pwnage2451 team awarded his turret design with the “most beautiful mechanism” prize. Of course this award was not official, but it made us really happy 🙂 We hope to have as much success this year! 

To make it work, it must be accompanied by a gearbox. We want a turret that rotates fast, so we need a gearbox with torque. Victor F. is working on this CAD project. He has just arrived at Robo’Lyon and yet he is already doing really well!!

Stay tuned to see our tests on the 1st version of the turret!
