Step 5Building the servo turret
The servo turret works on much the same principle as the sensor turret, but with servomotors instead of potentiometers.
Two servos are held perpendicular to each other by a wooden frame. Eventually, a laser pointer will be attached to the top servo shaft, allowing the Arduino to aim the pointer vertically and horizontally by adjusting the position of the two servomotors. A CD was used as a convenient round smooth surface to glue between the wooden wheel and the grounded servomotor.
