On behalf of Team 5492, I've developed a calculator that calculates FPS. It takes the following inputs: wheel size, motor RPM, (gear, belt or chain) tooth numbers and outputs the FPS. This program is still in the beta testing stage and I am looking for feedback as well as features you may want to see added!
this program is compatible with both Mac and Windows, it requires java to run.
if you run into any crashes, bugs or errors, please post a comment explaining what happened and or any error logs that my appear
