Assuming they're running at max power with a full battery, top speed of a BAG pulling a full robot's weight is about .6 ft/s. If their climber starts at the floor, it would take about 8 seconds. If their climber starts at max robot height, could be as short as 3 seconds. This is the fastest a single BAG motor could possibly run, but engineering tradeoffs could slow the climber down significantly.
P.S. - this seems like a good place to plug my new whitepaper, which allows you to calculate the optimal gear ratios and top speed for a given motor and load (found
here)
