Re: gearing problem. Help please!

Don't forget about a worm gear reduction system. May use up some weight really quickly, but you are using a cim. My team's rookie year we had to do something like that. used a 25:1 at max gear reduction. I was only told about it but it worked. My suggestion would be to use a window motor instead, it doesnt rotate as fast and gear reduction should be a snap.
