Yes, except that most teams gear the motors to be running at full power while pushing other robots.

I'm not sure I understand what you are trying to say. See, gearing is a relationship between on torque and speed. As one goes up, the other goes down, and the power stays constant. Your statement is very unclear. Motors can be geared low (a high number to one) or high (a lower number to one.) Low gearing will give you lot's of torque resulting in a large force applied by the wheels. High gearing will give you more rotations per time resulting in a higher linear speed of the vehicle.
