Re: paper: Optimal Gear Ratio Calculator

This is a nifty calculator! Personally I appreciate quick updates based upon feedback. Release away!

I was apprehensive at first, since some of the other papers that come out which try to improve upon JVN's Calcuator often come at a price of complexity and/or mathematical results that don't match what JVN's models or what I've modeled/measured. Yet I put our 2017 climber setup into this spreadsheet and validated the 'optimum' and 'current-limited' gearing values match JVN's and also my own models.

So now that it's validated, it definitely saves a little bit of time when trying to figure out what gearing to aim for. Thanks for putting in the voltage changes - that helps when determining end-of-match characteristics.
