I'm working with my team on gearing and determining the best ratio based on what they are wanting to achieve. I have a few questions about the results on the image above.
1. Motor amps @ Max - If that is above 40 amps do we just need to make sure we aren't giving full power to the motor at the wrong time (during initial acceleration)?
2. Top Speed - If we are building a robot for speed, what value should we be aiming for? I don't want to aim for 12 if that is not really that fast compared to other robots.
3. Pushing Force - If we are building for pushing power, what is a good number to shoot for?
4. Kinetic CoF - How is this number arrived at? We are plugging in the Static CoF using values we find for the wheel on Vex's site, but not sure about Kinetic.
Thanks in advance for the help.
