That's where the whole "we kind of decided it" comes into play... Really it was me and an engineering mentor. Our head and secondary engineers are currently gone on a scout camp out, so I haven't talked to them about our maximum speed. But really, I've got to start pursuing this now because if it does work it'll be great and if it doesn't I've got to learn how to use the quad optical encoders and gyroscope in unison...
Speaking of which, I've found a diagram I can use to wire a USB optical mouse myself. Unfortunately, I need to know what D+ and D- correspond to. I'm guessing one means data in and the other data out, but which way? (As in does D+ mean data going into the mouse or into the microcontroller?) Here's the diagram, courtesy of Wikipedia.
