Exactly. If you've only got 15 seconds, the only setup strong enough to dead-lift another robot won't be able to go 12'' in 15 seconds.

Try a screw-type device. They gave us a small black one in the kit. the only problem is that the threads make it extremely slow but very very powerful. There probably isn't anything out there with coarse enough threads to make the lift go faster, and still maintain that same power.
