Re: How many seconds to climb the rope?

I guess there are a couple different ways to look at what is "proper gearing". If you design it so the motor has to run at maximum power, then you don't have much of a safety margin. If you design it so the motor runs at maximum efficiency, then you will still be able to climb at maximum power when things go wonky...like a low battery at the end of the match, more friction than you anticipated, etc.
