You can check with Alex, he's darned good at this sort of thing, but a final speed of 12-14 ft/s would be reasonable. If memory serves, we used Banebots 12:1 when we set this up when I ran 2106.

Edit: Alex corrected me. a 12:1 would give you something just shy of 10 ft/s.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
