Re: Top Speed
well actually you can be effective if you are quick, and dont have a low gear ratio
if you work out the physics, when you get your bot moving fast and ram another bot, you apply far more force and energy than you could by trying to push them, no matter how much you gear down or how much traction you have
need a simple example? take a common nail and try to push it into a 2x4 with a hammer - push on it as hard as you want
the lift the hammer a few inches and tap the hammer on the head of the nail -it doenst take much energy at all cause you are storing up kinetic enegy as the hammer speeds up, and releasing it ALL on the impact.
