Have you actually driven this yet? It is far too fast.
I doubt that they will realistically achieve this kind of speed with the losses in the gearbox, lack of friction with the carpet, and other losses. If they do in fact reach speeds comparable to 30 fps then more power to them. This years game has no mid-field obstacle and score will be determined heavily by how fast disks can be ferried from the feeder station to shooting position. A fast drive base could be a game changer.
