LoneGhostOne is an unknown quantity at this point
Galileo team drive-train info and ranking

so i made this chart using the calculations from the JVN design calculator to calculate the theoretical pushing power of teams robots neglecting CoF and weight to avoid the about 220 lb pushing limit most robots end up having. the scale is an open ended scale because each year different gearboxes and motor configurations are thought up. this ranks teams with a numerical value which is one or two numbers in the ones and tens place, with a single decimal (ie:12.7).
the numbers were decided putting Lightning Robotics team 862's drive-train rated as exactly 7 for low gear. the scale is attached below with information from the Michigan Southfield, Escanaba, and state events, and obviously world championships Galileo division.

the point of posting? so other teams will have a chance to see it, comment on where it is wrong, and maybe adapt it for their own use in the future. if you have any questions feel free to post and ask.

(EDIT: sorry it says "team" i meant division, but i'm tired from worlds...)
