Cool idea. I've been working on a wheeled tank using the add/sub
transmission discussed here. I have a small rotating turret on top of the

You bet! Someone said there'd be a competition in Austin...
Has anyone figured out a good way to maintain an electrical connection
between two parts separated by a 360 deg. rotating joint? Wire would just

Ben
