Re: Gear Ratio to Maximize Chassis Speed?

Probably not. We've run a 4 CIM drivetrain for several years now, and those robots have had multiple other motors on there. Just bewarned that driving and doing other stuff at the same time might cause brownouts. If you use only new batteries for competition, and keep them topped off, you should be okay, but run the calcs for brownout scenarios just to be safe.
