Re: Fastest FRC Robot?
I think I remember playing with a team last year who told me their robot was geared for 26fps. I am also pretty sure that they only had a single speed transmission.
What I definitely remember was how long it took them to travel short distances. Frankly, I was not impressed.
Their reasoning was that, even though they knew they would never reach this speed, that the increased acceleration from this arrangement would be beneficial. Unfortunately, I didn't get a chance to explain to them why their reasoning was flawed. What I should have done is asked them why, by that reasoning, they didn't gear their robot for 100fps.
