Re: Winches and alternatives to the modulox lunchbox?

I would look at what team JVN did for the build blitz and maybe combine some of their features into yours. For the non back drive quality that they needed they used a 1/2 in ratcheting wrench and put it around a 1/2 hex shaft on the gearbox they were using. You could easily implement this using a touch box or a shifter box ex. ball shifter or AM Supershifter. Then you have to decide on how you release the cable attached to your shooter. This would be a neutral gear so to speak.
