The video demonstrates me controlling the full final system using two potentiometers. In this demo, I am using three high-torque servos to move the entire system: one as the pan motor and two as tilt motors. Although each servo has high torque, a single servo was not sufficient to be used as a tilt motor. When only one high-torque servo was used as the tilt motor, the shooter would slightly shift downward, mainly because the top part of the servo is small and lacks a secure attachment point. As a result, during movement, the shooter would sometimes come off entirely, making the use of two tilt servos necessary for stability.
