Re: pic: 1251 Prototype v 1.2

The size of the wheel has nothing to do with the RPM of them (Unless you say that their mass slows down the system). If we know the output speed of the Kit gearbox, and we know the ratio to the the wheels, we can, with some error, find the RPM of the wheels. Now, if we were looking for the linear speed from a reference point on the wheel, then wheel size would matter.
