anyways.....its still a prototype
If you're using a 6" wheel and your motor spins at ~90rpm like you said then the math says that it should go about 2fps... ((18.84" cicumference) x (1.5rev. per second))/12 = 2.3.... FPS.

But even if thats wrong 4-6fps is still really slow for an FRC field. It would take you 10 seconds or more to cross the field at that speed
