It's about 54 feet per second squared (acceleration, not velocity). I figured out already that a robot geared to 9 feet per second can get an acceleration somewhere around 1.7 or 1.8 gs. I want a little wiggle room though to help account for deadband and the sensor I get not being perfectly with the specs.

Of course I hope on having a fast robot, so it might not be an issue since that will have a slower acceleration. I'm just gathering suggestions.
