I actually want to do the math... And to know how to. The thing is I already have the built robot and all I want to do is decide whether I want to chaneg the gear ratio or not. Besides, I don't want to have a very strong pushy robot, I want a combination of strength and speed that would be the best for the robot out of several options I have.
