Here's the spreadsheet I'm working from. I stole karthik's chart and tweaked it a bit - there are some curves on the second tab. Thanks also to JVN for info in his DesignCalc workbooks. I fudged the FP gearbox torque: multiplied the motor torque by the gear ratio (the listed torque is 69% of the motor only, so I used that for the efficiency factor).

I can't say I have a whole lot of confidence in some of the data supplied by FIRST, however. The CIM data looks good, but as Dr Joe, Paul and others have noted, there are some glaring discrepancies for some other motors. I can't reconcile the torque they give for the van door motor with what we did with it on our tower last year. I guess having questionable data is better than no data...
