pic: Fixing the Winch on the field

[jamapor]

Our robot is also very difficult to remove from the bar when all devices are not working. We have two locking devices that are designed to be released under the power of servo motors. Unfortunely, during the NH regional, the servos didn't work, and we couldn't remove the locking devices. We had a backup system of strings that could manually release the locking devices, but we also ran into trouble with this. The referees ended up lowering the bar to almost chest level, and we still had trouble removing our robot. However, we then fixed the problem shortly after that match and didn't have any problems with it throughout the day. How long did it take to remove the robot off the bar the time the servos weren't working? What would you say if i said that it took upwards of 5 minutes.....
