Assumes:
Battery voltage of 14.4V
6755 RPM Free Speed
0.095 Nm Stall Torque
(Extrapolated the stall/free currents based upon a realistic efficiency curve)
2 motors
100% wheel-to-pole efficiency
direct-drive minibot straight off the motor
2.3 lb weight
Minibot goes exactly 7.5 feet straight up

This graph matches our experimental results. Our climb time was minimum at .40" dia.
