Torque/speed is still very much a concern. If you gear it too high, accelerating will take forever and low speed movements will be hard to control.

I have never built an omni-wheeled drivetrain, but I imagine directly driving off of two stackerboxes two 6" omni wheels would yield a decently fast drive, probably around 9 fps (assuming that at free speed, it'd be just shy of 11 fps).


oh i must have missed that day in math class



so your saying that two stackers is just like one toughbox in that case it should be around 12fps depending on how much wheel slip there is


and i was under the impression that if you have it geared high it would have less torque(therefore less wheel slipping) but a higher final speed or am i backwards? or is it like this because there omni wheels?
