Wow that seems fast. Have you ever had a robot that went 15fps?
No fastest I've ever driven a robot is like 12 or 13 fps. I know its theoretically possible and it would only be driven at 15fps high speed for short bursts in strait lines. The turns would probably be taken at the 7 Fps low speed or lower.
