Re: How to make a winch release freely?

For team 4265's winching mechanism we handled the backdriving issue basically the same way one of the ri3d teams did. We had a two-speed transmission, and on one of them it was simply neutral and the other was the drive, and on the drive we stuck a ratcheting wrench in there.
