Re: lift winch ideas anyone?

Thanks for the replies everyone! Great advice! So in response to the last reply, is a CIM powerful enough to drive a winch drum directly and lift the robot? I was thinking about a worm and worm gear setup to drive the hand crank shaft on a winch supplied by grainger.
not unless you use a gear box with it, we're using one from '07, but a worm gear might work
