In theory if you create small diameter shafts as rollers, you could, (not saying we have, because we didn't) gear the textrix motors up to 14,000 or 20,000 rpms, and given that the shaft size isn't so large that it burns out the motors you could theorticallly be looking at a .5-.7 second ascent. Now if only I had thought about it a few weeks ago, but oh well we shall be satisifed with our 1.4 second deploy and climb good luck to you all at st. louis.
