Lloyd Burns is an unknown quantity at this point
A 130 lb robot might do 3 m/s, but not push a goal, but a goal pusher might be unwise to try to go that fast, because the torque requirements are greater.

If you calculate it will go zoom-cubed, be prepared to change gears if the circuit breakers go click-squared.
