Me too.
There are many FRC drivetrain spreadsheets and models out there, and they are indeed useful - as long as their limitations are understood and taken into account.
Most of them contain at least one fudge factor to close the gap between theory and practice. Unfortunately, one size does not fit all: the correct factor(s) for one drivetrain design may be quite wrong for another. And it's not just the type of drivetrain that can substantially affect performance; craftsmanship also plays a major role.
