suggested gear ratios
Was wondering if anyone can give me a suggested gear ratio for this years bot at full weight running 2 cims that will give the wheels 10 fps? I know I can calculate the unloaded ratio using 5200 as the cim rpm but I don't know how to figure the rpm loss due to bot weight.
Thanks
Bruce
