Re: COTS Elevator in Action

For either chain system or the pulley system, what do team typically do to keep the load off the motor while not actively lifting? I'm assuming you don't want to have the CIM be constantly supplying force to the lift mechanism in order to keep it going. Anything remotely COTS that someone can link to or previous designs? I'm a relatively new mentor and our team has never built a lifting mechanism like this in the past.
