We're looking at using our remaining 2 CIMs for the elevator system which should give us a pretty powerful lift. Hoping to get it prototyped out tomorrow!
Thanks, our intention was to provide inspiration and not a canned solution. I certainly recommend prototyping it and see how it plays out just as we did. If it isn't deemed good enough then go to work on prototyping some mechanical brakes.
