The motors included with the RIS have flywheels, that might help a bit (but
you might need to gear it up some?). You could also put some of the
"bicycle" wheels on the shaft with the beam to add some inertia. It is
funny how something as light as a Ping-Pong ball can stall a motor when
using a lever arm that big moving that fast... but if you think about it,
you can feel when you hit the ball hard with a paddle.
