In theory, you could put a large enough diameter spool so that the 130 lbs of robot weight would break the motor, but then you would not be able to even lift yourself up. If you design the spool and motor combination to actually lift the robot up, then you are nowhere near back driving the motor.

This is brilliant. Pretty simple actually, but i didn't look at it that way. Thanks!
