Hello,
I have been in FRC for a while, but for some reason never managed to learn good ball park numbers for reasonable robot speeds.
So let's use the wide open 2014 field as an extreme example, what would constitute a "sane high speed" for 2014?
at the other end of the spectrum, any idea of how to form a "lowest reasonable speed"?
According to
the JVN calculator, our numbers for last year were:
- High speed 14.72 fps (18.17 fps theoretical)
- Low speed 4.00 fps (4.94 fps theoretical)
I wonder how these numbers fair in comparison to general wisdom about advisable speeds.
Right now we are shooting for ~11 fps for 2015, but i'm now thinking we might want to aim for a lower speed for increased precision.
Thanks for the help!
