Backdrive with Window Motors

[mspries]

Hi there,

We are a very novice team trying to use the provided Denso window motor to move an arm down. I'm under the impression (and testing confirms) that these window motors do not drive backwards. While we don't need to raise the arm after lowering it during the match, we would like a way to raise the arm again before the next match (ie the kids can lift the arm if the motor would allow it to spin backward while it is powered off but then hold it in place). We do not have a matching motor to use on the other side.

I have read online that you can remove some pins in the anti-backdrive mechanism to be able to accomplish this. Does anyone have any experience/information on this? I've been browsing around and haven't found one, but if there is a good tutorial out there, please point me to it!

Thanks in advance!
