Yeah, for winches, FP would be my choice (unless CIM's are available obviously). On 269, we used FP quite often for elevator winches and robot lifting winches (in 07). I don't recall ever blowing one, but they do get awefully hot sometimes.

Our 2005 robot had an arm on top of an elevator, and we lifted the elevator with 2 FP motors.
