Re: Drivetrains - How are you doing it?

We use the toughboxes and the KOP wheels and our theoretical top speed is about 11 feet per second but we really do about 10.5 or so. The reduction we used made is so that the robot has to have almost 3/4 of the pwm value to get moving so it's kinda difficult (and loud) to get moving for low speed maneuvers. We've found that it's plenty fast for what we're using and puts very little strain in the four cims powering it.
