Team 166 is direct driving 2 axels with 2 8" wheels each. Each axel has a cimulator with 2 rs-550 motors each. We have not clocked its top rpm yet but the wheels spin quite fast as you can see in this video:

We don't know the range of the final shooter yet, but the prototype could shoot 46-50 feet, the prototype was direct drive cims instead of cimulators.
