This is a simple and elegant application.
At this ratio, a 90 degree arm movement would take about 8 seconds. If the torque was cut in half and the speed doubled, then a 90 degree motion would take 4 seconds. This faster speed is probably more in comparable with arm movements during recent FIRST games (04, 05).
If I recall correctly, the 2005 TechnoKat robot's arm (along with many of the winning teams) had about 120 degrees of movement in under 2 seconds.
