winding and unwinding string seems to be to slow if i understand it good
so my idea is here:
use two wheels (pulleys) especiali as big as you can put into your design
they should be with flat surface so it meand they should be from old sets
like: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/4266
or bigger: http://www.peeron.com/inv/parts/3739
( http://www.ozbricks.net/clark/WheelHelper.html )
they shold be mounted in this way
one bottom wheel stable to the tank body
and the other one (upper) should have possibility to change distant to
bottom wheel
the distance could be changed in the same way as hammer (releasing spring or
rubber belt)
using http://peeron.com/inv/parts/6539 driven (moved not rotated) by let say
micromotor
(i thing this way of releasing you developed before me)
between pulleys passes the rubber strip which could be pulled by rotating
pulleys
so hammer can be puul over
when the strength is quite good you can release upper pulley
in this design ther is no unroll effect of string!

| Thanks for the response. I've decided to stay away from string on the robot as string can get easily entangled, especially if battling another robot. I took a break from trying a design using gears and differentials - I was getting really (...) (22 years ago, 13-Dec-02, to lugnet.technic, lugnet.robotics)
