Here's what I think you are saying. Correct me if it's wrong:
There's a substantial speed reduction gear stage that's still connected to the winch when you release it.
You are pulling with 14lbs at a radius of 1/4"
How is the 1/2" hex shaft supported?
Injuries can come out of no where. I know this is only a robotics competition but the injury doesnt care where or what you are doing. - nightrenegade00 [more]
