It showed that for speeds up to ~30fps the distance vs. time was almost the same. By going at lower speeds you would get an advantage on the order of a few inches.

Increasing the number of cims did help acceleration a lot, but nothing else except robot weight helped that much (according to the spreadsheet).
There's something wrong with that spreadsheet...
