Re: pic: 2010 window motor winch

wouldn't how fast it lifts the robot depend on the size of the spool?

So if you had a 4inch diameter spool then it would pull in roughly 12" of cable each revolution, so if it's spinning at say, 60rpm, then it would pull in around 720" per minute or 12" per second?

Should work the lift the robot 72" in 6 seconds?..
