Re: pic: 1747- Kicker Winch
Quote:
We can load the kicker to its full strength in less than 5 seconds; hard numbers will come later. Our range is currently approximately 18' with a height of 2'. However, we are testing foot designs/angles to see what works best. Will do. Come to BMR, Buckeye, or Atlanta and see for yourself! ![]() |

Re: pic: 1747- Kicker Winch
Very interesting take on a clutch mechanism. I'd like to see some video of it in action if you have any.

Re: pic: 1747- Kicker Winch
For anybody having issues with kicker winches, these little window motors work great
Of course they don't back drive unless you really pull on them. |

Re: pic: 1747- Kicker Winch
The little window motors don't do much work, compared to a CIM, so you might need to wait around a while for it to winch up your cable

Re: pic: 1747- Kicker Winch
Agreed, we used the CIMs and Fishers on ther things, so I had a choice of pneumatics, the 555 or the window. The 555 is pathetic. On our system the window motor is directly coupled to the shaft, and takes 3 seconds to winch back 70 pounds. Ball is going 40 feet at 9 feet at it's highest point. Of course we just go off half cocked to shoot closer to the goal.
