...Yes, that is correct. However, your ball would also be slower. It is a zero-sum game. If you want your ball to go faster (with the same power and motors) the wheels will take longer to get back to full speed.


And if the front wheels were slower, what would their purpose be anyway? All they would be is excess weight on your robot.
