Anyway, the spreadsheet takes inputs such as weight, wheel diameter, motor parameters, gear ratio, wheel coF, etc, and produces distance vs time graphs among other things. We have it to be an effective tool for optimizing your gear ratio based on the distance you expect to be driving most frequently during matches.
