I don't think we've geared for a specific top speed in a long time.

As a result, we probably have some of the "slowest" robots in FRC...
To be fair, if all teams reported this measurement, then all robots would be the "fastest" robots, however they would all be the "fastest" for different sprint lengths.

That being said, I would be surprised if the highest top speed of a robot was not one of the sprint bots of '08. Those little fellas looked nigh-uncontrollable.
