Re: Driving up the portcullis

We've had the same idea too. There are ball bearings on the sides at the top, and I believe a wheel at the bottom that will roll along a track.

You should allow for more than 5lbs of force - motors should generally be run at under 50% of maximum torque and you should account for some friction too.

Please post back and let me know how things work for you.
