Lifting as many as 360 pounds (3 bots) would result in the lifting arm and robot being ripped apart if there wasn't enough power.

Or in a less violent scenario, it simply wouldn't be able to lift anything and stay on the ground.

But lining up 3 robots in a chain before lifting up in 20 seconds would take too long.
