Last year we used the van door motor on a rather lengthy arm and had enough torque when under the goal to lift(not on purpose) the goal up and damage the playing field. As a matter of fact, in one instance we chewed the teeth off of a fairly heft set of gears with the van door motor. You have to give up a little speed to get the torque. Our ramp would not stay tipped unless we were within 1" of the floor. What is your ramp doing when you slowly rotate it until it tips on its own?
