Building steps (expand the description):
-We got 2x motors (), 2 ESCs (), batteries () and a servo tester () from HobbyKing
-We designed the system and then machined the parts using our Tormach PCNC 440.
-The revolving spool was machined by Peter on his 5 axis CNC machine. Check out his video to see it machined
-The motors are run in parallel with a timing pulley to keep them in sync. Note that you cannot run 2 brushless motors from 1 ESC. We are using 2 ESCs controlled by the same signal. The motors turn a worm and spur gear with a 20:1 reduction ratio. The motors run up to 10,000rpm meaning the output shaft is running at 500rpm
-We designed a custom revolving spool to ascend the rope. The rope wraps around the drive spool and an idler spool, 4
