I get it, the math is doable. The point is that advice was given in the form of exact gear ratios based upon esoteric experience rather than math. On top of that, it's not the best advice for that team because we don't know that team's experience with chain.
Replacing the belt pulley on the gearbox with a 12-16T pulley has the same net effect (the robot turns) at potentially less expense -- time & money wise.
