Oh jeese haha, I don't think we want it to move at 10x the speed!

Honestly you might want to think about how fast you want to be able to lift to score. Any time wasted waiting for the lift to reach full height will contribute to less tubes scored. Just as a metric to go by, our team has chosen to have a lift reach full height in under ~1.5 seconds. With sensors well implemented and the programming to control it, it would be very beneficial to scoring quicker
