A fast lifter or slow flipper needs 1 thing from the setup. Motorpower. Volts * amps.
And you can achive that by combining the right motor with the right gearratio.
A window-wiper motor... Several problems.
1) the fuse in my car for the wipers is a 10A one. Meaning the most you can get out of such a motor is 120W.
2) overvolting is asking for a broken wormgear wheel. Most, if not all wipermotors use a hard plastic wormwheel. It can't handle overvolting nor heavy shocks.
I learned that lesson with Project I and II where the wipermotor was used as a big steering-servo-motor to control the back wheel.
