Safely letting the robot down

More to the point, stop worrying about whether your "Atlanta bot" got screwed over or whatever. Worry about whether you've got an "Atlanta team." - RebelWithARobot [more]

Safely letting the robot down

Do you think it would be a good idea to have a small electric winch attached to the tower to safely let the robots down? The winches can be purchased for as little as $70.00 at Wallmart. It seems to me 150 lbs robot high in the air is a recipe for disaster especially during prototype.
