Re: What is your drivetrain's top speed?
The 4272 chassis would theoretically be capable of hitting up to 30ft/s (although the field isn't long enough for that to actually happen. We did the math).
We will realistically be able to hit a top speed of between 17-20 ft/s, (takes about 3-5 seconds to accelerate to that point).
We are using 3-Cim Ball shifters, with low gear at 7.5, and high gear at 2.81. We are using 4" wheels. In order to maximize acceleration, the students are working on some automatic shifting. Low gear hits about 10-ft/s.
I will also say that we have a driver with 3 years of experience, and this chassis has already been built for a little while. Also...we are building a practice bot.
