FYI, single CIM into 11:72 into an 8" wheel is something like 24 fps top speed. That's insane and will work horribly for you.

We are planning to use a 6 cim drive train and we only calculated the speed to be around 18 feet per second and since were using a 6 cim drive train we chose to have as little compromises as possible between speed and strength and we plan to use bag and mini cims for in taking and everything else. if i am completely wrong please let me know as this can all change but this was the design my team decided on so i can bring them up on it. i will also talk to our lead metor and get his opinion on it as his first thoughts when we told him the gear reduction and what we were planning on doing was quite reasonable.
Thanks
