Problem Statement
Design Statement
We must design and build a winch system that will lift at least
100 grams; and at least 30 centimeters over the side of a table.
It may be made out of Fischer-Tech or VEX parts, powered by
a Fischer-Tech motor and turned on and off by a Fischer-Tech
switch.

Our original design consisted of the motor in the middle being held up by the axle which would have
ultimately connected to the gear system. Yet we decided that the most efficient way to build our winch
would be to have our axles help up by fischer-tech parts and have our winch to be in the middle of the
highest axel. We then made the two gears mesh by attaching on axle to the same axle the winch was on
and building another axle beneath it, only to attached another gear to it in order for both the gears to be
affected by the motor.

Final Design
10/17/16
Finally, our design came
to have the motor and
gearbox on the side of the
winch system. This was
done for aesthetics, but
mainly for reduced
distance away from the
input/output gears.

We also originally intended to use the silver
Fischer-tech bars to form our winchs basic structure;
the silver bars added height and stability to the
machine.

After testing out the new positions for the motor
and gearbox, we determined that using black and
red blocks would be more efficient and flexible for
our winch. With the black and red blocks, we were
able to attach the motor and gearbox to the side
and include a second axle to guide the string
attached to the weight.

As we were forming our 1st design, we were initially
going to use a chain for our motor to power.
Although it had worked initially, while the winch
was running it had stopped numerous times on
several occasions due to the fact that the teeth of the
gear on the motor did not fit for the chain.

In our final design we removed the chain and just
went with having 2 gears on top of each other
being powered by the motor itself. Although it was
working, occasionally the 2 gears would stop once
in awhile because there was a small gap in between
them, but this was a simple fix, by inserting a
pulley wheel into the 2 axles for the 2 gears to
always stick together.

As shown in picture 3 we created an area where we could have our on and off switch. This is hooked up
to our power source which is then connected to our motor to power our actual winch. As shown in picture
4, in order to keep the gears together and stop it from slipping off each other, we used a pulley wheel to
hold the axles together as well as the use of string/tape to keep the actual gears from slipping off each
other.
