Sorry for the confusion everyone. I'll clarify (This is what i get for typing while i'm tired
)
The team insisted we want to gear the 550s UP rather than DOWN, and that didn't sound right to even me, who has only taken a conceptual physics class I never paid attention in. I looked around CD, and need a little more information and help to prove to my team we want to gear down, and to get some sort of range of gearing ratios. Had our design not get changed again, the information in this thread would be ample to get us going.
However, the team says they now want to switch to a launch system drive by one side of wheels (underneath). So, now I'm lost completely in the physics (again), and stressing out about deadlines (again).
Any additional help would be appreciated. More gearbox recommendations would be appreciated as well; seeing as ship day is too close for us to get things ordered (Especially with the way our school processes orders), we will be having to add gearboxes at the competition. The plan is to bring it all as-is when shipped to the competition and add it there, since they could be considered a COTS part.
