If you are having trouble with the weight of the object ( robot) that you are
lifting, you could possibly work a worm gear into the gear box. The worm gear
changes the direction of motion, which prevents the weight of the object from
working directly against the motor.
This is a terrible description, but try it, you'll see what I mean. The gear
that the worm gear turns ( slowly ) cannot cause the worm gear to back up, only
shift it slightly on its axle.
