Useful hints

• You can make medieval-style drop drawbridges by using two winches and two ball sockets.
  • Place a large flat prop upright in a doorway
  • Attach the two bottom corners of the prop to the ground using ball sockets
  • Attach the two top corners of the prop to the doorway using winches
  • Increase the winch length to lower the drawbridge!
• In conjunction with the slider, it can be used to make multi-floor lifts (Not possible with hydraulics).
• Reversing the numpad keys and putting a winch on the opposite side of a prop can make a two-way winch, which allows greater stability and control
