I definitely agree it will be very very uncommon and that you have to plan for this from the beginning. You don't necessarily need a custom gearbox (although it would definitely help). We are using a custom made ratcheting winch with 1 cim motor in a toughbox mini. We also have an acme lead screw which loosens our surgical tubing when our winch pulls the catapult down. The lead screw tensions the surgical tubing (allowing for a variable shot) to our desired shot length. We are hoping that at the max tension we are able to emulate your full court assist to the human player.
