in 2002 Kingman's bot went around 18 fps, and I believe that the second robot the Cheesy Poofs made this year went around 20 fps. Keep in mind that at these speeds your robot is likely not going to have enough torque to overcome friction and turn, unless you drop the center wheels 1/4" or so. Unless you are a very good driver, its also going to be very hard to control.
