Re: How do those winch-loaded shooters work?
For the 2008 offseason we modified our robot to have a launcher mechanism based on 1114's wildly successful Simbot SS. We loaded it with a dog gear transmission (a modified AndyMark Gen 2 shifter, i believe) with one of the sets of gears removed. I forget how we stopped the spring pressure from backwinding the whole rig. I think we had a pneumatic ram that locked it in place.
