Re: Climb Stopping Mechanism

I think the easiest solution is to simply use the motor controllers to sense when the motor is stall. This is what 6101 is doing. The Davit has a C-channel piece to protect it in brief high-stress situation and the 40A breakers wouldn't pop immediately. I don't see any reason why this wouldn't work.

To prevent gliding, we are using a ratchet head on the winch similar to Ri3D 1.0.
