Re: Ideal robot speed
I don't even know what our top speed is. Its generally not that important because we don't spend much time there. For the past two years we have run CIMple boxes with a 10 tooth output sprocket, and 32 tooth sprockets on 6" wheels. I think top speed is around 7 fps (at 4000 rpm CIM speed). I have never found myself wishing we could go faster. Most games are about getting in position to pick up or deposit the game piece. That is all about control. Getting from point A to point B usually involves getting around object C, pushing robot D, or going over obstacle E. None of those involve top speed, but all require torque/acceleration.
