Not a bad idea... although:
1) The lift isn't running at full speed in this video. It's capable of being a
little faster than the video showed.
2) This thing has enough torque to pick up six totes and a bin. At full speed. I would rather be able to have this thing pick up a bunch of totes slowly, than only be able to pick up three or four quickly, and then die a horrible gear-grinding death.
3) It will probably take more time to drive to a tote than it will to raise or lower this forklift more than one tote height. This is really all that's needed in this competition.
4) We're lazy and don't want to change things again (we already switched out the lead screw once).
I think that we're satisfied by this thing's lift rate right now. You're right in that it's not the best, but should be more than good enough.
