Attaching the Turret to The Workbench Base

Overview

In this section, you will be attaching the turret to the Workbench Base to keep it in place as you build. 

The turret will operate as the "waist" of your robotic arm and allow you to achieve motion in the X-axis or more simply put, it will allow your arm to turn left and right!

  • Two 8 x 32 screws
  • Two Brass thumb nuts
  • Workbench Base
