Fisher Price Motor Power

Hey all,

We're currently designing a mechanism to flip our robot back right side up in case we flip over during the match. We're thinking of using a fisher price motor outfitted with a fisher price gearbox to power this mechanism, which would be lifting an approximately 120 pound robot over.

I've done some calculations, and unless I made a mistake, it looks like this is theoretically possible. But, we've never used fisher price motors before.

Does anyone with more experience think this is possible, or practical?

Thanks for the help!
