Making a part look pretty even after it is functionaly done can be a very good thing, espically when the part gets cut from the bot and you get to keep it as a trophey. Take pride in your work. - Andy A. [more]

The Van Door Motor is designed to be back driven (so you can open the doors of the van manually in case the motor fails).

The window motor is designed NOT to be back driven (so people can't break into the vehicle).

I would be willing to bet that the window motor cannot be back driven due to the weight of a 130 lb robot.
