Re: Intake RPM

1800 rpm with a 1" diameter intake roller so we had a surface speed of about 8 fps. We were originally worried about stalling out the intake and burning the motor so we didn't go for the 775pro, opting instead for a bag motor. As it turns out though, the stall torque of a bag is almost the same as a 775pro's optimal power output torque, so going 775pro is almost always the way to go. We switched to the 775pro for champs.

Edit: I failed at math: 8 fps, not 400 fps
