Re: Cim-Sim gearbox for shooter questions

if i adjust for the different wheel sizes (8" vs 4") and speeds (55% vs 100%), we both have similar surfaces speed at the wheel, but we may be about 10% faster.

More importantly, we may have about twice the power input, depending on which FP motors you are using. The AMs are 180 watts and the FPs we have are 170, so we have almost 700 watts total.
