Seconded – you may want to try a greater reduction with the fisher price. What gearbox are you using? Our elevator uses 2 FPs with approximately 46:1 reduction all told.

Nice robot, I like the smooth turning that the omni wheels give you in the video. And that 12' spring steel band is awesome – the way you winch it in reminds me of the film advance in an old camera... very cool. The elevator looks remarkably smooth up and down, even under the load of the ball. It's good to see that someone else was doing their first elevator tests on the night before Ship Day . It's so relieving when things actually work.
