Re: lift winch ideas anyone?

hey guys, what Team 3022 did for our winch system. We just basically used the KOP's Window motor, and placed a bearing on the other end of a shaft we fit into the motor. Next, just attach a string, and instant winch made by the KOP motors. We tested it earlier with just our bot's frame (about 40 pounds), and it worked fine. We're about to test it with our robot's near final weight (about 100-120).
