Re: pic: 57's Tape Measure Scaler

Wow. That's a fantastic product. My team tried something very similar, but it unfortunately never got integrated to the final design. I have a couple of questions. So there's one Bag motor to extend, and then the WCP DS kicks in and winches it all up, right? I'm assuming it's the PTO. What gear ratio will you use on the robot for the winch? And I love the servo by the way. Also, how is the hook attached to the tape? We had tons of issues finding a good and secure way to do that. Finally, (lots of questions, sorry ) did you put the whole tape measure, with its casing, or did you create your own solution to housing the tape around the winch?

Excellent work, this is very awesome!
