Although a 33:1 ratio is kinda out there, it would work very nice to raise an arm.

Edit: The ratio to raise and lower my Vex robot arm is 7:1 and it moves extremely slow. So I wonder how slow that ratio would be, but then again it depends on the motor you attach it to. And then you could put it to be 1:33. Super fast. Not extremely useful in FIRST but maybe in a combat robot. LOL.

yes but the vex motors are gear motors and have a very big reduction in the case of the motors, yes hf is bad unsealed bearings in a water pump
