Bah, that's slow. We ran closer to 25 FPS, and that was the right answer this year. I've been going for 1.5x-2x the robot speed. (I don't keep track of RPM since it doesn't matter). We actually started running 775 Pro's this year over-geared, and then just running them at 70% PWM to reduce the power draw.
It is always a balance between sinking a bunch of power into the roller on stall or normal operation, and waiting on the intake. You don't want your intake to starve the rest of your robot of power.
