Basically, there's no benefit to having a higher top speed if you never reach it, and there's no benefit to having faster acceleration if you are driving long distances with few stops and starts.

I agree, this robot is going to play on a field that is almost entirely open, and will probably be moving almost continuously with a robot that will probably be under weight.
That being said, I'm curious to see if people think it is too tall for any situation. 3.5 to one is not a lot of gearing.

I also would advise against taking any "pushing power" arguments into account.

I agree again, because we are not planning on getting in pushing matches, and a swerve robot will be hard to push no mater what the gearing.

Put a lower top end on and see what the drivers think.

Do you mean electronically or by changing the gear ratio?
