Speed and torque tend to directly relate to each other. It's hard for any outsider to judge if your ratios are okay if we don't know what kind of mechanism it is? Is this a linear lift (i.e. elevator) or is it an arm (i.e. 1-joint arm/link) or is it some kind of linkage (i.e. 4-bar, 6-bar, etc.).

I understand not wanting to give everything about your robot away, but it's tough for people to give advice about detailed design points without knowing the general concept of the mechanism.
