What kind of gearbox is best for being back-driven (driven in both directions - not sure if 'back-driven' is the exact term)? The driving torque would be quite small, to the point where the motor's rotor inertia needs to be taken into account. I wouldn't want a reduction ratio any greater than...- PendGB
