Re: pic: GBX-114 swerve with PTO

D'oh. The low gear is actually 9.8fps in the photo. I accidentally marked it down as 36 tooth instead of 44 tooth in the calculator.
Then the robot is definitely traction limited. It draws 240 amps at maximum (lifting) torque. I was worried about increasing the pulley to get the free speed under 12fps, but it turns out that won't be an issue.

So the speeds are 24.0fps/9.8fps.
