But the tetras weighed a minimum of 7 lbs and the ringers weight about 1. So with the same power output and proper gearing you should be able to lift tubes the same height at least seven times faster.

Remember Power = Work/Time = Force (weight) * Distance/Time. I'm liking having to worry more about robot to robot interactions than just weight in my designs
