Re: Improper gearing and power draw
That might help, but ratio would be better. You are geared for free speed of 18+ feet per second free speed. This is really fast for a non shifting robot. Any pushing matches will likely cause your snap action breakers to trip. If you were popping your main, pulling the minis might help, but if you are tripping the snap action, you really need more ratio.
