Re: What motors are you using for your lift?
The Average Joes are using a can of spinach (aka CIM motor) on a RAW Box (AM-2372) with further reduction via Vexpro gears (30:84) to drive two 36 tooth Vexpro HTD pulleys on two 15mm wide belts, which connect to our left and right elevator carriages. Top unloaded speed is 4 seconds for a 60 inch lift, and we have lifted six totes while drawing 28 Amperes at the CIM terminals.

I believe in intuition and inspiration. Imagination is more important than knowledge. For knowledge is limited, whereas imagination embraces the entire world, stimulating progress, giving birth to evolution. It is, strictly speaking, a real factor in scientific research.
