Last night we ran the 2-7/8" Bane Bot wheels. Our set up is BB550 motors at a 19:46 reduction. Two wheels 4" apart. The disk is loaded at about 12" off the floor with an angle of about 40 degrees. Running the motors at 50% shot the disks over the top of the high goal from about 17' away. Higher speeds did not change the performance much.
You forgot the other critical variable. What compression are you running?
