I'm pretty sure there were no filters involved. This was the basic robot arm that can be built from the 9740(?) Control Lab Starter Set for the Serial Interface Box.

Ok, I'll answer my own question: (URL) I think I saw this a long time ago, but I had assumed that the "Mibo in Book!" link was referring to the Mibo on the cover of a Japanese magazine that Jin Sato had on display at Mindfest.

I think a worm gear and a 40-tooth gear worked for me. A string was fixed above, and wound around the axle connected to the 40-tooth gear. This wasn't fast though, more like a slow climb. But I think you definitely want a worm gear or some kind of (...) (25 years ago, 6-Feb-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)
