Re: paper: Window Motor Lockups: Causes and Solutions
We used window motors with the pins for steering at least one season. The only time it was a problem is when we slid into something with the wheel turned sideways. If the output of the gearbox is turned (like trying to pry the window down on a car), the pins would lock enough that the PID loop output couldn't turn it. Steering into the lock would always unlock enough to recover so it wasn't a big problem but since we've been removing them driving smoothness improved noticeably.
Thanks for getting this where more teams can find it.
