Re: pic: Winch for Kicker

It does backdrive, it takes some current to the motor to keep it wound up. We're still working on the control system for the motor. Plan is to keep the kicker pulled back enough to allow us to possess a ball, and then winch it back to whatever distance we need for a kick right before making the kick. On the plus side, it will not remain "cocked" when the robot is disabled.
