What kind of motors do you all use? We need to be able to replace it in 2 days (bag and tag is the 21ist!!)
You have a quite a few options to work with. You can use a gear reduction out of the window motor to give it more torque and thus more force on the end of your arm.

You can combine two window motors and use a reduction as well. You could make your pusher arm as short as possible to deliver more force.

Also, the AM-0914 is about twice as powerful as the window motor.

You can use another motor like the fisher price + fisher price gearbox if it is available.

What other motors do you have available?
