Re: Kitbot/cims/transmissions running too slow?

For the past several years, Team 33 has been able to get our robots to reach over 90% of the theoretical free speed. If you are only getting 60%, something is wrong. Easiest way to find it: remove the chip motors and check for friction. Without the motors in the system, everything should spin freely when you turn the wheels by hand. If it doesn't, figure out why.
