Re: Worm gears

We used that exact gear set for our winch in 2004 (Frenzy)

We were very pleased with the results. Lasted 2 regionals with no significant wear.

If it is possible to back-drive it, one robot is not nearly enough force to do it in our experience. If you were lifting 2 or 3 I suppose you'd have to try it to find out.
