That's not a bad idea, but now you get to the fun part: designing a release mechanism that doesn't burn out your motor and is safe. Pulling something back and letting go is all fine and dandy, but it's a little harder when you can't use your own hands. It's an engineering challenge if you don't go the easy route and use a transmission/clutch. I'm sure you guys can think of something, good luck!
