What gear ratio did you use on the CIM (looks like 1:1)?
both prototypes used an AM Gen2 gearbox in high gear and a 1:1 sprocket reduction, so I think the reduction is 4.17:1. I know some other teams run faster, but we figured this gives you some torque to keep the wheels up to speed if you're planning on firing a lot of moon rocks in a short span of time (wink wink nudge nudge)
