[Borobo]

no. twelve is a pretty typical speed for multipurpose single gearing. 6 is a good speed for a lower gear with a switching gearbox, because it allows a robot to push opponents around more effectively, but is not a very fast speed for maneuvering on the field, especially considering that the field is fairly open this year. On the other hand, having a slower robot might give better fine control and make it easier to balance, but that could be achieved without a permanent slow gear.
