Better to be too fast than too slow and you can always slow it down in code, whereas speeding it up is a bit more of a mechanical affair. (Yes, I know, you're not using the motors in the most efficient manner, this is assuming you're not over gearing and only dialing back your speed 15-20%.)

Also, FWIW, our guys handled our 12-13FPS drive in high gear without many hiccups Chris. Maybe you should work on your driver training skills there bud. (We're still BFF's right?)
