I propose naming the fundamental unit of FRC drivetrain "oomf" in honor of JVN.
Let's say the "oomf" of a well designed four CIM drivetrain is one JVN. Then by the approximation John proposed above, a well designed drivetrain with four CIMs and two mini-CIMs will deliver 1.3 JVN of "oomf", while a well designed six CIM drivetrain is good for 1.5 JVN.
Your oomf may vary.  |
The resistance of the battery makes the 1.5 JVN number a bit idealized though
