Hope that you found this useful!  Please let me know if I did any math wrong! |
You are not accounting for friction. Furthermore, free speed assumes that there is 0 load on your motors. My calculations (MiniCIM on a 10:1) is based on JVN's design calculator which accounts for both of these. Also your calcs are way off because a 6" wheel is actually 18.84 in/rev(1.57ft/rev).
