Based on the math I've done you need about a 9:1 ratio between the CIM motor and the spool (assuming a 1" diameter spool and a ratchet strap-style rope) to lift a fully loaded FRC robot with a decent margin of error (stalls at ~277lbs).

The biggest ratio you can get practically with sprockets (at least easily available ones) is about a 5:1. Now that said, at a 5:1 ratio, if you double the number of motors running it (like adding a second CIM to the opposite side of the system) that 5:1 ratio would work just fine.

Ideally though you would want a proper gearbox that will get you closer to that 9:1 ratio.
