I have to agree with Tom about the great explanation from Joe, but, show some mercy on a software guy and explain the formula use to calculate the 54W below.
TIA

If you are trying to lift a 120lbs motor 3ft in 10 seconds -- that means you need 54 Watts. If you only have 40Watts (the best you can do with 2 window motors at 12V) then you are not going to do that much work (lifting the robot that high) in that amount of time... ...no matter how you gear things...
