Re: What motors are you using for your lift?
I can't believe only one other person has mentioned BAG motors. In my opinion, they are the perfect choice for this application, as they have a similar free speed as the 775s and can interface perfectly with the VersaPlanetaries. Also, they aren't fan cooled and instead have a high thermal density, meaning they won't get wrecked as you PID loops try to hold the totes in place. They've been champs for us, and they weight only a fraction of a CIM or miniCIM.
