*shudders, and pictures the FP gears getting destroyed* Cool design, but given my past experiences w/ the FP motors i cant imagine they'd be the best to use for a winch. Thats jus my opinion, anyways good luck this year.

Just in case you're confused. The bar is 2" Schedule 40 steel pipe. The 2" refers to the nominal INSIDE diameter. Schedule 40 refers to the pressure rating, which determines the wall thickness. The OUTER diameter of the pipe is roughly 2.375". For safety's sake we're assuming 2.5".

Bending our welded hook at a competition would be a real pain.
