Re: pic: Average Winch Innards

The Winch functioned as you all have guessed, although, we did end up using a half inch ratcheting wrench to prevent the system from reversing after endgame.

In all honesty we don't have the best climber, it was fairly slow and usually made more sense to just score 2 balls and take the tower. Nice to have it working though. We saw some other teams like 4967 do something similar to our method, not sure how well it worked, never got to see it in a match!

It was mounted on 2 brackets riveted to the belly-pan.
