Re: Reasonable Speed

One other important point to remember if you are using very high friction tire material or if you are planning to "skid steer", ratios that result in ~8 ft/sec or higher can cause your motors to stall or run at a very high current before the wheels spin. This can be very bad because it can cause your circuit breakers to trip or, if the motors get too hot, they can stop working as well.
