I'd have to say that I wasn't there for when the robot was programmed so I don't know what kind of speed control algorithm was used. However we did have a CIM that was operating less than optimal. It was geared up and I would guess the speed was closer to around 6-7k rpm. With the final shooter wheel running at about 8-9k rpm (perhaps even faster). I honestly don't remember the gear ratios but this was the estimated speed when we built it.
