Re: Winches
What would you recomend to use as a replacement that is not backdriveable? Our team has decided that we want to avoid the robot in 3 days approach of using the motor to fight the force of the catapult, so the best way to do this (from what we can tell) would be to use a worm gear gearbox with a clutch.
The two biggest problems with this would be:
1. Finding an appropriate gearbox that can not be back driven
2. somehow utilizing a clutch with the gearbox.
Number two Is proving to be the hardest for us right now, as we have never built a clutch and do not really know where to go to look for one. I saw a picture from 2010 a few days ago of what seems very doable but I am struggling to find it.
Any help with either 1 or 2 would be appreciated.
