That depends on the application, really. In 2007 we played as a primarily defensive robot and had a similarly low gear. We were able to simultaneously push 3 robots sideways on several occasions. For this years game, however, I would agree it's probably a bit excessive, but again, depends on what you need it for.
I would bet that your low gear was traction limited, so you could have geared higher without losing pushing force.
