Lightbulb Locking shaft in place
Hi!

So quick question, we are trying to scale using a 'tape measure' idea with a 16:1 planetary gear. We are stuck on trying to figure out how to keep it locked in place when the power shuts off or the game ends. We are afraid of our 120 lb robot would fall after we scaled. Any ideas?
