A robot .

It's a gearbox design to take the power from one side of the drive train, and power the spool when the dog gear is engaged. When the dog gear is not engage, it just sits in idle mode doing nothing.

Unfortunately, we didn't have time to complete the hanging mechanism before ship, and we don't have time to complete it by San Diego. So the gearbox is just going to sit in idle mode through out SD.

We are hopping to get the rest of hanging mechanism figured out by Silicon Valley, though. The entire hanging mechanism should take no more than 8-9 lbs, including the gearbox shown above.
