Re: How did you use the FP motors?

469 decided to use their Fisher-Prices to power the winch- a critical element for raising and lowering our arm. They are coupled on opposite ends of a single shaft that carries a worm. It's speed is then reduced through a worm gear reduction (1:30) which rotates a drum to collect or release cable. I do not have pictures of it, but you can see it in action at Great Lakes, Detroit, and Atlanta.
