Looks really good. You could go faster in high gear if you wanted I think, but it's your call.
we just had them laying around? lol. there really was no specific reason other than we just felt like it. though we can use any size wheels we want provided we adjust the gearing accordingly(which we can very easily with the chain). We may indeed end up using 3" wheels and making proper size blocks to lower the whole profile and maybe use two spur gears instead of the chain but that's just what we went with for now.

we can indeed go faster, or have more power. This was just a starting point. we can even adjust these factors between matches if we wanted to depending on the opposing alliance by changing the sprocket sizes! talk about versatility!
