Re: Sheet Metal, 8-Wheel Drive Design

I don't really see why 12fps is a bad speed on it's own.

For a half-field game (Where the field is divided), it's a good speed. It would be a good speed for the 2012 game.

You don't gear for top speed. You gear for best game performance. This is usually a sprint-distance of no more than 20ft for a very long distance game. Acceleration matters a whole lot more than top speed in many games, especially short-move games.
