the part where I am losing you is the drum. What do you mean by drum? Do you mean the small wheel connected to the motor.

I am starting to catch some sort of drift. will wrapping the cable around the moving wheel make it so theres tension to make it contact the wheel and actually move? Our imediate reaction was we needed something to make the wheel more grippy.
