Could I ask a favor of you? We are setting up a site dedicated to helping teams find people with various FRC skills. Basically it is a searchable directory with contact options. If you'd be interested, we'd appreciate you checking it out and perhaps registering your skills at http://frcpitcrew.com
I will be happy to help and will post my skills on your site this weekend .Just love that photo of team 254 robot that is a great example of the two drum winch used in FRC.
I have designed and erected several telescope enclosures such as domes and roll off roof observatories and these two drum winches are simple and very effective in opening shutter doors or rolling off huge roof structures weighting several thousand pounds. So it should have no trouble with a few totes and a garbage can.
I am currently making a 3 inch version of this winch and will post photos of its construction soon .
