Re: Winding Back a Kicker Lever

Whether a certain motor can do a certain amount of work in a certain amount of time....is a calculation.

Joe Johnson explains it well in this thread.

So, figure out how many Watts of energy it takes to move X distance with Y force in Z seconds... and see if your motor can deliver that power. (Be conservative - if you need 100 watts, look for 150 or 200. Friction and other losses need to be considered)
