An example: our thought process for Logomotion. Basically we decided that we didn't need a lot of speed to zip around the field. We guessed that the HP would be able to toss the games pieces to our end fairly well. We decided we wanted the manuverability of Mecanums and wheel slip limit pushing at the highest speed we could get it. A bit of testing led us to 12.75:1 toughbox nanos direct driving 6" Mecanums.

This is probably quite a bit slower that most teams geared their bots - but it worked out well for us.
