Re: Braking

Another way to add friction is in the lifting assembly. See if you can find a way to make it jam a bit at the top. You could use a wedged shape piece of material at just the right spot, or use friction materials like rubber. The trick is to make the friction stronger than gravity but not stronger than your motor's ability to yank it back out.
