Re: Window Motor will not lift ball anymore. It did, but it wont any more.

A window motor is just not going to get the job done here. You are experiencing what happens when you try direct drive. But if you gear it down it will be too slow to shoot the ball.

If you look at the motor data sheet for this year you will find that the window motor is comparatively low power.

You need to find a different basic way to operate your arm using a more powerful motor.
