Two FPs, stock gearboxes, is a classic BeachBot trick. The 2007 (and 2005, if we hadn't used a PVC arm) robot arm could lift our driver, and he's at least robot weight (I think...)--at least 2007 could before we took off one motor to make ramp weight. Our 2004 robot had 2 FPs on one drum and winched itself up on a bar--that's 120 pounds + battery, all on two FPs through the gearboxes and the frame through screws in the mounts. Two FPs might even be overkill, but you might want that.
