Re: Releasing winch system without shifters

I believe team JVN used a non shifting system which was powered by a bag motor, it had a double jointed arm on a gear which would release by simply turning it past it's point of being fully loaded. It didn't even have a gearbox, and seemed like a very good setup to me. The have their schematics on their website, much easier to see how it works using that.
