Too funny!

If my quick calculations are correct, you'd have to wait 57 minutes to watch the output shaft make one revolution!

But man, think of the torque implications that has!

Just *barely* falls off the load rating chart.

However you can always ship it back to Paul if you break it; you know, see what happens.

If only the internal gearing on the final 3 stages and the 1/2" hex output shaft could carry the torque!

261,000 foot-pounds of torque could lift every single robot in FRC together... still with a 12" spool. Of course, you'd want to use like a 3" spool so it could still lift at peak power, not stall... and it'd take about 2 and a half hours... and 254's stockpile of batteries.

This looks like something 71 would be responsible for

So have you found the screws yet? Reminds me of this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUbpb23yTK8

Do you even torque?

Congratulations; you almost just made yourself the world's torquiest hour hand.

and it would be about as hard to stop as actually stopping time!

Unless you know of an easy way to generate 2,882,400 in-lbs of torque! (Assuming the BAG motor is stalled at an input torque of 3.5 in-lb)

Ahh... the old long con...

[D_Price]

Too funny. At least that team member is learning the idea of gear ratios. haha

[Richard Wallace]

I wonder how much voltage you can apply before a sun gear shears off? Also which one will shear?

I imagine this will happen even if nothing is connected to the output shaft.

You might draw enough current just turning all those gears to actually brown out your RoboRIO. At free speed.
