Re: TapeMeasure Climber Dropping after Match End

We're braking our tape-measure lift with a piece of rubber tubing attached to a Firgelli linear servo. We're using a WCP DS gearbox, so we have easy access to the gearing. The servo just pokes the rubber tubing into the mesh of one of the gears. The only annoying thing is we currently can't leave it engaged during the lift because during retraction it gets sucked into a different mesh and pulled off.

Still, if you can identify a mesh inside that toughbox nano that you could jam with a piece of tubing, you might be able to cut an access hole in the side and do something similar.

I've got a second linear servo coming in today or tomorrow because someone (Joshua Bryant) slightly broke our original, and it's been acting mildly flakey. I could give you the mildly flakey one, but it'd be mildly flakey.
