Hmm. We just stick with what we know. We didn't have very good tools at our disposal...
Anyway, Last year we used the 2 Cims at an 18:1 ratio on a chain system with tank style drive and it worked great. We had a final top speed of about 8.5 - 9fps and I can't remember the torque exactly, but we had no problems pushing bots around. In fact during one of our final matches, we spent the whole time taking 435 (RoboDogs) virtually out of the match by pushing them around. It was cool.
I think the CIMs 18:1 at 40A is a good balance between speed and torque for a stable system. Throw in the strength of chain drive and a good chassis, and you've got a pretty good drive.
We've redesigned the drive a bit and plan to use the modified design this season. (So scouts, you already know what to expect for our upcoming drive
!)
