Just don't forget about gear train efficiencies. It looks like there are eight gear/chain reductions per side, and all those losses can all really add up. Each Vex gear reduction will only be about 90-95% efficient, while each Vex chain reduction will be about 95% efficient.
I have a video of a Vex robot that is 2 speed with tank treads. If you want it, you can contact me.
