We are thinking of our next option, the same servo with the gearbox from servo city. Anyone had experience with these?

Edit: Maybe not. All the info we can find on the winch servo is that no one has had much luck controlling it precisely in RobotC.

yeah, the winch servo is a bit of an oddity. Could you use one or two of these?
