So my question is, what exactly do we need to do to make our minibot climb faster? I understand removing weight, adding a gear ratio outside, or modifying the gearbox inside the motor are all viable solutions, but how should we go about doing this?

I'm confused to what you are asking. The ideas you listed are all viable options to increase minibot speed so why are you asking how to do it? FIRST provides an engineering challenge for us to solve, and it seems as you have some ideas as to solve the minibot challenge, so go out and do it.

Sure, someone here could hand you the exact answer your looking for and you will probably make a faster minibot. What are you learning from that? What's your team learning from that? Use the ideas you have and THINK about how to solve the problem. If you have specific questions about how to do something, myself or someone else would gladly help you out, but the impression I'm getting is you want the answer handed to you.

Best of luck, and if you have any specific questions I will gladly help you out!
