Pretty violent R&D.

Not so sure you want that:-)

In the previous run I had the G201 cranked up to 75VDC; the motor
develops 165W+ at that voltage. On the 1-TPI screw it developed
22lbs
(10kg) thrust at 10 meters/min.

It took a nice gouge out of my thumb, the kind it takes super-glue
to
close up and stop the bleeding.

Furthermore I had a brick instead of the "action figure" as the
load.
The brick was duct-taped to the stage; it flew off and destroyed my
PC keyboard upon the 2-G deceleration I had programmed.

I decided to play it safe one bloody thumb and and new keyboard
later
when I ran the video. I hit the mouse key to start things and it
darn
near took another bite out of me. Deleted cussing ensued.

Moral: Stay clear of fast-moving stuff unless you want to shed a
little unplanned blood.
