Personally, I have none at the moment. I have gone from pneumatics, to scissor lifts. I'm still considering the best way.

2 FPs with a stock gearbox and a 3-inch diameter winch directly connected to them is enough power to get a 130 lb robot up quickly, like inside of 10 seconds. That's hook at the bottom to robot at the top.

I've seen some other fast ways too.

(P.S. We have another CIM motor available this year, for a total of 5 maximum.)
