Sorry if it is obvious, I have not been able to find anything

This too is a four start worm, and will easily backdrive on a vibrating and shaking robot once it's worn in.

Try using a ratcheting mechanism or clutch bearings from http://www.bocabearings.com/bearing-...h-bearing-csk-

But wouldn't this prevent us from reversing the winch/gearbox which would prevent us from changing the power of our catapult. Can you recommend an alternative gearbox?
