Power = Work /Time
Time = Work / Power
271.16 Joules / 642 W = .42 seconds
This means that at half of peak power 4 CIMS will lift a TV of 0 height from your floor to your roof in .42 seconds. I guess my point is, how did you decide you needed 4 CIMs for this job?

Oh sorry. It's not 4 CIMs doing all the lifting. I'm going to arrange them diagonally like:
\ /

around a rubber ball so that I can move it up and down, but also swing it around the pole to differ in direction. So something like this:
Bold Red means it's powered:
\ /

Moves up

Moves down
\

Moves right

Moves left
