Gee, the above post came kind of shocking to me. I seem to recall that word of team 696 having incredible speed and torque was flying around the pits of the Phoenix regional (and LA too for that matter) Strangely enough, they were running a four motor drive train (drills and chias). I wonder how they did it? Searching my memory, they actually pushed both opponents at once in one match and pushed a bin under the bar in another match. Not to mention a total of something like 11 opponent flippings in the one regional. Of course, all of this performance couldn't have been because of the 4 motor drive, I mean c'mon.
Everything Patrick said is valid.
Your analysis of what he said is either flawed. Or you do not understand the physical principles involved. Perhaps you should read it again. Ask for help if you do not understand.

Sarcasm is not necessary. Neither is being rude.
