Re: What motors are you using for your lift?

We're using a van door motor with a 3.5 in winch. It lifted all 6 totes and a recycling bin 6 feet in like 4 or 5 seconds with no problem. I think we might up the size of the winch to 5 in so it'll go a bit faster. Van door motor is probably the simplest solution for this game because it has tons of torque and it's fairly easy to implement (don't need a gearbox or anything).
