Well, it's very difficult to do the math on motors without the stress, without the launch parameters (angle, number of motors and wheels), and rpm relative to a urethane foam basketball lol but I would say definitely more torque than any 2006 or 2009 bot. And based on prototypes, I would say test both. The 775 Banebot probably when geared down to the appropriate torque doesn't display enough rpms. At 20 feet and 45 degree launch angle you need ~30.008 feet/sec of muzzle velocity. Based on our excel spreadsheet of glorious math!
ps. That takes into account for distance and hoop height from launch (in our spreadsheet its set to 6 feet) and ball weight
