Re: Intake Motors...

Also worth noting (edit: Silver did), as I'm personally looking at options to integrate an active intake for swap in at next competition...

Shouldn't the discussion shouldn't be more along the lines of linear speed?
A faster RPM on a smaller BB wheel or a slower RPM on a larger BB wheel would likely have similar results (not accounting for rotating mass and wear effects).

So if a given team is running their intake rollers at X RPM, I think noting the type of wheel and diameter would be pertinent.
