Re: pic: FRC488 - Lifts Raised 1

No arm? Bold indeed.

What motors are you using to lift 2 190lbs 12inches in 2 seconds?

Force = 380lbs = 1700N
distance = 12 in = .3m
Work = 4600in-lbs = 510 Joules
Power = 260 Watts

You had better say something like "The Big CIM" or 2 FP's or something else that adds up to enough power to do the job.
