   Ingenious design! That video was fun to watch. It moves very smoothly and gracefully. The shock to tension the cable was an awesome idea since it created more friction on the winches that moved the trolley.

Thanks - the shock idea is not mine but from a friend... he will be glad you appreciated!

   How much can it lift with the trolley all the way out at the end?- Not that that is very important, but it helps give an idea of the torque those motors have.

The weight it can lift (about 200g at the end of the boom) is not representative at all of the torque of the motor: the crane tips well before the weight significatively slows down the motor.
