JVN Build Tip: Mechanism Loading

[thefro526]

John, these tips are great for any team, rookie or veteran.

We've experimented with Passive assist for the First time that I know of, and it made a WORLD of difference. We're still searching for that point of near weightlessness, but even now, a few bands of tubing is helping us a lot.

From what we've found, and it sounds like you're coming to the same conclusions, the RS775-18 is a GREAT motor. We were running ours for around 20 minutes, with as a lift or two each minute and a solid ten seconds or more of stall with each lift and they didn't heat up very much at all.
