Yes, your inputs on each page are Speed (ft/s) (don't need to modify that one as you are matching to that speed anyways), Torque (ft-lb) (Pulled from motor spec pages, taken for one wheel), Coefficient of friction, Wheel Dia. (in) and Gear stages. The Min Time is pulled from the 'T54 ft.' column and you have to follow that to look up the min ratio.

*The speed conversion isn't mathematically linked to the wheel dia. cell and you may want to modify the equation in that cell to reflect that change*[edit]
