Thanks for posting your design.

If there is any concern about Versaplanetarys taking the load, you could go with half the gear reduction and a 1:2 chain sprocket ratio.

Yeah, I considered that earlier in the thread. We're really not that worried about it, though, given the loading and VexPro's documentation.

So does the rope just wrap around around the rod? I was just wondering because we have a similar design and I wanted to know if you had anything special to keep the rope in place and wrapping around while keeping the robot relatively stable. THANKS

One more question. What material did you use use for the rod? Did you buy it from AndyMark or McMaster-Carr? Thanks

Without a ratchet how does it not come back down?

There's a half-inch ratcheting wrench on the hex shaft.
