Dan - you might be overkilling that a bit. A single fisherprice geared down will EASILY raise your robot in 4 or 5 seconds. It might make your life a lot simpler to just dedicate a single fisherprice + AM planetary to that task. If you end up going the way you explained though, I can't wait to see how fast that thing picks you up!
