Battery Powered Portable Winch w/ Electromagnets

I got tired of lowering the profiling sensors by hand, so built this! The additional benefit is the constant deployment speed. The motor runs at a fixed 30RPM, so interchangeable 3D printed drums are used to change the deployment speed. There are also four Adafruit electromagnets, to hold it to the steel deck of a ship!

This was built for the SeaLabMOS family of systems and as such all information about how to build this winch is on the GitHub page for that project (link to right)
