nice to hear some experiences about those motors, the most disturbing problem imho is the gearbox front steel piece with roller bearings coming off.

Interesting idea in your first drawing of driving the rear arms of the flipper.

It seemed like a good idea but when i did the maths (with the help of ewan) there was only 4kg of lifting force, most of power was lost because it was trying to move the wrong place so that system wasnt good for lifting/flipping opponents.

btw, what the heck is the cad drawing on your profile? thats some insane designing!
