Re: robot speed

Technically the optimum speed would be the combination of the fastest speed in which you can slip your wheels while pushing against a wall, and the speed at which you draw the least current.

For all practical purposes, without a lot of practice, or just plain gifted drivers, anything over 10-12 is too fast for most teams.
