IMO this calculators are a great tool but if you are making a new one you should also include a step by step 2nd document explaining what does what and why....so people arn't just blindly punching numbers.

and a cool feature you could do is a drivetain generator, people punch in the speed they want and give you other factors like what wheels they have. and it might generate "best options" from the motors in the kit, using presets options. this might be good for teams with limited resources that can only use what they have lying around.
