This past year we geared for an actual speed of 18fps (~22fps theoretical). It was just a tick too high for our liking. In the future we'll probably shoot for 16fps actual.
Looks good though. Keep improving.

When doing your drive calcs at such high speeds, you should also check the time it takes to go a certain distance over the range of gear ratios.
If you had done this, it really would have emphasized that you guys just went a bit over the point where acceleration tanks on 4 CIMs.
We started doing this a few years ago, and it's totally changed how we gear our robots.
