Need motor suggestions

Our team needs to re-evaluate a different motor & configuration that we are using for our trackball manipulator rotation arm and could use some helpful suggestions.

Currently we have a ~ 9:1 gear reduction gear ratio set up with a globe motor but it isn't cutting the mustard and if we can't find a suitable alternate we might consider gearing down even more...

We like the globe motor for its size and weight while the Cim motor is very heavy and might not be a good fit for us.

We have read on this forum where other teams are having problems with the plastic worm gears on some of the Keyang KOP motors stripping the plastic worm gears, so it sounds like these are not a good option for this...

Also, the rules mention FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC) motors (Innovation First part number 276-2163), but I am not able to locate these to evaluate them...

Is there any other suitable motor that we might use for this application?

What might you suggest?

Thanks
