Too funny!

If my quick calculations are correct, you'd have to wait 57 minutes to watch the output shaft make one revolution!

this will resolve any issue with back drive.

But man, think of the torque implications that has!

Just *barely* falls off the load rating chart.

However you can always ship it back to Paul if you break it; you know, see what happens.

Should be fine if you ever need to pick up a truck...or a house.

If only the internal gearing on the final 3 stages and the 1/2" hex output shaft could carry the torque! :rolleyes:

261,000 foot-pounds of torque could lift every single robot in FRC together... still with a 12" spool. Of course, you'd want to use like a 3" spool so it could still lift at peak power, not stall... and it'd take about 2 and a half hours... and 254's stockpile of batteries.

This looks like something 71 would be responsible for :D

So have you found the screws yet? Reminds me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUbpb23yTK8

Re: pic: 823543:1 Reduction Versaplanatery
 

Do you even torque?

or a boulder...

Re: pic: 823543:1 Reduction Versaplanatery
 

Congratulations; you almost just made yourself the world's torquiest hour hand.

Re: pic: 823543:1 Reduction Versaplanatery
 

Ahh... the old long con...

Re: pic: 823543:1 Reduction Versaplanatery
 

Why climb up to the scaling rungs when you can move the entire field down to your robot's height?

Re: pic: 823543:1 Reduction Versaplanatery
 

Too funny. At least that team member is learning the idea of gear ratios. haha
