Bill,
I fixed the calculations on my end, I am getting a climb rate of about 1.10 seconds. So I think slipping is defiantly slowing you down.

What?? Mentors wrong!! Seriously, never happens.
I've been thinking about the slipping. Though I know we have some really grippy "wheels", it is possible. It could also be that the shafts are spinning in the "wheels". We will try a couple experiments today to see if we can resolve it.
The reality is, we are going from a dead stop to max torque instantly, and fighting gravity while we are at it. The best option to overcome that is a curved ramp. I seriously doubt we have time to redesign out deployment system now. So.... stopping the slip is our best bet.
