Your interpretation makes more sense I guess.

I also took it to mean that the gear boxes on this bot were the original 52 to 1 ratio.
The 10.4 to 1 boxes, based on our experiences and pile of smoked motors, won't work with a 5.5" diameter wheel. We ended up with ~3" wheels with our 10.4 to 1 gear boxes.
The math doesn't add up to a 2.2 sec time with 52 to 1 boxes either, unless that bot's weight is less than the total of the battery and motors, let alone the wheels and frame, again based on our experiences.
