Re: Ideal robot speed
Tom,

What size wheels are your numbers from, and what speed are you using for the CIMs?

My calcs, using the free speed of CIMs, suggest that you are using 3.3" wheels, which doesn't feel right. I have never seen anything close to the published free speed of the CIM motors, when attached to unloaded gearboxes. Too much friction.
