Re: What is your drivetrain's top speed?

For teams that are looking at doing speeds such as this, I would suggest taking your bot out into an open area (if you dont have a dedicated field that is), and just setting up obstacles such as cones etc, and letting your drivers practice at that speed maneuvering around etc. IMO It shouldn't take a good driver too long to get used to such speed and control without too much practice.
